A Red Tail Hawk perches on a street light in Philadelphia. This was taken about an hour after sunrise and the band of clouds rolled in at just the right time. This image was set up with the thought of getting the Hawk in the circle of the Sun but the scale wasn't right. Not much editing. A very slight hue/sat adjustment and some burning of the brightest part of the clouds just above the Sun.

WoW, Oh WoW, wonder why you didn't enter it into the Silhouette challenge, maybe not taken for it specifically, I've voted on 85% so far, but this is the best, has a great warmth and aura about it, well done~ 10 and a Verineat
Love the composition and color! Great sky. The smooth arc of the light pole is almost jarring against all those random, intricate cloud patterns, but it leads my eye straight to the hawk and the moon above him. Just a very cool scene.
