Stunning Joel. Pileated WPs are so cool.

Wow...love the high key effect on this hawk...gorgeous! I would try to increase the contrast and sharpness of the bird just slightly. Great shot.

I've been looking through memory cards and organizing/cleaning and archiving things for the end of 2014, I found this image which I had not processed from earlier this year.

Nice work Joel. I like the ones where the background has a bit of gradient look like the Bluebird. It may be transition between grass to dirt or something?

Thanks Dave. It is leaves on the ground and bare grass
