The Watchers

I actually think this image is really beautiful, I like the subtle light direction it gives the image a really realistic natural look. How the background is not dominant allowing the main focus the 'hawk and the rider' be the 'main focus' and they do not get lost in the background, like I see in so many manipulations (even myself) that you can get carried away in manipulations and lose what the intention of the image was to begin with. I do not see many images of humans riding hawks so I say this is pretty original, with a good clear vision and technique, plus it has great impact. Well done <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
