Default Night Hawk
I took this image from my back patio on January 2, 2012 in the evening. It was about dinner time and I stepped out for a glass of wine before dinner. I saw the hawk fly in so I ran and grabbed my camera, lens, and doubler.

In post processing I tried to brighten the image a little bit without losing too much of the shadowy hawk feeling. Is the coloring on this one too muddy?

Nikon D200, Nikon 300mm f/2.8G + Nikon TE-20E II
f5.6, 1/750sec, ISO 800, Aperture Priority, Spot metering

I really love this shot. What kind of hawk do you think it was?

TessaDunc, this is either a red tailed hawk or a cooper's hawk which are common in my area.
