Favorite photos of today...

We headed over to Arthur, Illinois...saw a few hawks.  We saw this one on a major road, but there was no traffic...so Roger backed up till I could photo it.
Other than being cropped and reducing the size, this is straight out of the camera...the one below I have used the HDR effect and the boost.
When I use the effects, I always go easy in using them.
Again the top is straight out of the camera...it has not been cropped or anything.
I only used the HDR effect on the second one.  Might as well add this one...its head is cocked just a little different.
I hope you like them half as much as I do!

    I love the first shot, with the softness of the feathers looking wispy in the wind. All are great photos.
