En Guarde

The day was dim and grayish to begin with, and not even many birds.

But I didn’t see the hawk among the branches until it shuffled in preparation to fly, and with the dim light I didn’t have enough time to focus well, so the photo was grainy and overexposed and blurry. But I liked the hawk in the branches and played around with blur and sharpen and grain and glow and converted it to grayscale to focus on the hawk amid all the shapes.
