Hawk (?)

[mkh]

Shot this in my back yard. Some purple fringing that I don't know how to process out. Probably could use some kind of noise filterering. Any suggestions?

This is my first image post so I hope this works.

Nice shot of the hawk. Try Neat Image (free download) for reducing noise.

BTW...I grew up in Jacksonville, but left there 10 years ago.

Beautiful Hawk(looks like a Red-Tailed Hawk) Take more photos of him if you can. They are fantastic to photograph.

Nice capture. That is a Red-tail.

Great Capture, Please post more!

Thanks for the kind words.

I have more but they are kind of dark looking. I am having exposure problems where there is heavy backlighting. The other images have him on a branch against the sky so the camera metered on the sky leaving the hawk too dark. Need to figure out how to correct this.

About an hour before this shot I was flaoting in my pool and I counted 12 different hawks circling the area. Should provide more photo opps.
