 Taken at African Lion Safari. Lighting from the sun was great for this shoot and in just the right place and my thanks go out to the bird for being a great poser :)

Editing...nothing really, a little dodging and burning (mainly on the eye area), hue/saturation, croped slightly, sharpen and saved! :o)

Hopefully it does ok!!

Ah 'Ferruginous Hawk' - how I fondly remember his tales of 'Daring do' on the radio, as he chased the bad guy's and always got the pretty girl - of course I never realised what he looked like . . well how would I ? I thought he was just a fictional radio Private Eye . .

Gotta say though - he's shorter than I would have imagined - and where does he keep his badge ?
