Nice pic, the bird is beautiful. I like how you adjust the saturation. Did you shoot through the fence? Anyways here is my version of "caged raptor" //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=402720 I wished I could enter it in the bokey challenge.

Perfect fulfillment of the challenge. Bokeh is not the subject, but it is prominent and enhances the subject... and is visually stunning. I don't even like raptor shots, but this demands attention. Mostly because of the bokeh, but also the unusual coloring and the patterns of light on the bird's wing. Simply gorgeous. 10


thanks for taking extra time to comment on my image.
