Reply to comment by PlankyTown777 in Red shoulder hawk portrait taken in NE Philly near airport by FGoose

No worries about the photographer thing! So there’s no filter per se here I actually left this one “as shot” in my editing app for white balance.

I liked it because (to me anyway) it felt kinda cinematic and conveyed that it was blue hour when I took the pic. Having said that I also really prefer this edit for Many of the reasons you stated.

Excuse my ignorance - what is blue hour? I guess you are playing on themes here that went right over my head lol. Either way, the reason I ask is because this is such a lovely shot (both versions) and I feel connected to it for some reason I can’t explain!

'blue hour' is the period of time just after the sunset, around dusk when the sky takes on inky, indigo hues and before it becomes totally black.
