I played around with this one a little bit. I used the 1960's effect on Picasa.

I heard the hawk today, but I never did see it. It was dark and gloomy, so it would have been hard to get a decent pic. I'll just have to keep stalking it. :0)

Thank you for your kind comments and faves on my recent bird pics!!! :0)

That looks great with the processing Carolyn. I use Picnik regularly. I've not used the editing in picasa at all. Must have a look.
