Don, I recognized this raptor immediately becaise I've seen other photos of the species, but none were as good as yours. Your low angle looking up and the bird's posture make it a majestic portrait. Very well done!
Lorell, what a fine image; it displays your creativity and artistic judgment in several ways. First, the crop is inspired. The gnarled (but I sense steady and sensitive) hands draw me eye. Excellent value control, engaging textures, and very good color (the browns and blues work well, and the greens of the shoe soles add a subtle color variation).
Good day to you, Grant. I hope it's a good one for you.
Today was the first day in almost 2 weeks that my daily walks were pain free. And the early morning light was clear and strong, delivering some nice photo conditions. I'll be processing some of today's photos for a few days and will post the best of them one day at a time.
Meanwhile, here's a shot from two days ago of another Ketchup & Mustard rose. It's obvious that I'm still struggling with controlling vivid colors (red in this case); I made three postable-sized images and am not satisfied with any of them. This is the best I could manage...

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
