Red-shouldered Hawk
Posted: December 7, 2012 Filed under: Camera Critters, The BIRD D'pot | Tags: bird, hawk, nature, photo art, watercolor 30 CommentsThis juvenile was sitting on a branch right outside the window. My husband was able to get a few shots through the window, but the hawk flew off when he opened it. Being obsessed with using this watercolor technique now, I had to play around with the photo.
Here’s the original photo. I also removed the branch from in front of the hawk.

i’ve noticed you’re kind of ‘stuck’ on watercolor right now! 🙂
It’s a wonderful obsession, Pat. Lovely work! It must have been cool seeing one so close to home.
I am happy you have this obsession Pat! Now tell me, you DO live in a bird sanctuary, correct? lol
Wonderful!
Stay inspired!
Awesome capture. I have one hanging around in the backyard. Love your watercolor effect! How are you doing it?
He looks rather chubby. 🙂
Awesome! Hawks are such gorgeous birds!
The first is artistic and the second one just lovely!
I love what you did to the photos. It is one fun obsession to have.
Check out those claws & you know they’re super sharp! Great capture =)
What a beautiful bird and I like the watercolor.
Your treatment of this photo is splendid! Quite haunting and dramatic image of the hawk!
Very Good photo and post processing.
Cool hawk sighting! It is neat how you can remove the branch. Both images are wonderful! Have a great weekend

Lucky you to get this beautiful bird so close to your lense. It´s a great shot. ANd also a great post processing!
Great capture!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
love both versions of the shot. I think the birds pattern is somewhat unusual. Right?
Beautiful edit, Pat.
A truly magnificent creature.
Great shot! I love both versions.
This just answered my last question. I would LOVE to know the program you are using to make these into watercolors! I absolutely adore these!
He’s gorgeous! I love the treatment shot, too, but in both he’s such a handsome bird!
Beautiful hawk! I am enjoying your obsession but I’m glad you showed the original too.
wow! these are beautiful – the images itself but the processing is great, as well.
