tonal contrast on the hawk only/brilliance/darken lighten center/also applied a touch of the digital Orton/LA/smart blur and USM for the upload...

Beautiful work captureing the hawk. I think they are so neat looking, we use to have one live in our backyard and this year he's gone, miss him around, but never captured him like you have. Love your texture work! #9904368
