Red Tailed Hawk

This beautiful red tailed hawk was being held by the woman who nursed it back to health for two years. She was saying goodbye, just before she released the bird back into the wild at Armand Bayou Nature Center in Houston today.

This image was shot handheld in available light with a Canon 5D Mark II and a EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens set at 105 mm, f/5.6, ISO 400, and underexposed by 2/3 stop for 1/400 second.

Post processing is in CS4.
