So pretty! Most Aplomando Falcons aren’t really that orange- the photo you found was taken at sunset it looks, and it’s casting a nice amber glow on him. http://www.bafrenz.com/birds/Belize03/ApFaX01.htm
So in a way he’s your very own creation! How pretty! And he is every bit as nice as the lab griffin!
Heh – After collecting about a dozen photos, I realized that none were as orange as the one that inspired me to paint this guy…but I decided to paint him very orange anyway because it was that color that really made me want to in the first place!
Though none of the photos I got were as pale as yours….maybe that’s a female??? Anyway, here are a few examples of the pics I was working with…none as orangey as the original, but all still pretty orange! (though that closeup of the head is probably another sunset pic…)http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e220/arlla/reference%20pics/Aplomadofalcon5.jpg

😈 Good! bwahaha! ^_^ I wanted Diego to look like a good bird of prey, not a fluffy pet…so I guess I succeeded. 😉
