This little raptor provided me tons of entertainment over the winter and bunches of photo opportunities.

On this day the skies were gray and colorless so using a trick a fellow photographer taught me, I overexposed the picture a bit to create a ‘high key’ effect – making those gray skies turn white and really setting the subject off from them. I problem should have taken it up a bit brighter but it looks pretty good like this.

Taken February 6th in Adams County, Colorado.
