from before Roger's stroke...a repost

We were headed to Arthur, Illinois, on a highway.  Lucky for me there were no other cars around and Roger was able to stop.  The following photos were the result.
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 don't mind a repeat...there is just something about birds of prey that I love to see.

If I can remember, I am going to link to I'd Rather B Birdin'....

    Fierce! The HDR makes such a big difference, yet you would never know it was used.

    I, too, admire birds of prey, they are so majestic! I love your photos. I think the filter brings out the white, so pretty.

    Excellent. I go easy on the enhancements too, except once in a while. Then I add a texture so it looks like a painting.
