Last minute entry but when I saw this guy playing on my neighbor's car I couldn't resist taking his picture. I especially got a kick out of him appearing to admire his reflection. I believe he is a Redtailed Hawk, and a darn big one; he has been hanging around my neighborhood quite a bit lately but isn't always so cooperative about being in camera range.
PP - converted from RAW, cropped, decreased saturation on blues and greens, increased saturation and contrast, dodged eye and a little of body, resized, sharpened.

That's a great capture, I love the reflections, he seems captivated. I think I may have cropped the left out to make him less central, it adds nothing.
Nice capture, but the space on the left side and some on the top could be cropped off. If that feels crowded, some more space on the right might open it up.
