About the Image(s)

Red shouldered hawk, 1000mm FFEQ. Taken last week, handheld, with the OM SYSTEM OM1 camera and my "big bird lens" using bird detection and procapture. I waited about 20 minutes for it to take off, using the pro-capture feature in my camera to get this moment. Exposed for the bird so +1 and 2/3 and then edited in ACR to make the sky more like what it was IRL, selecting for the bird and then the sky.
