Birds of Prey are not my forte when it comes to ID, but all Harris Hawks I've seen have been quite dark in their colouration, this could probably be a juvenile though.

Problem with captive birds is you don't know their country of origin so don't know where to start looking.

I thought your asking price was reasonable too, but the 28-80 is a bit of an odd focal length for Digital, You may do better with the 75-300 on ebay, I offered my 80-320 on here quite some time ago, eventually it went on ebay and I got more for it.
Given it's condition and box the 28-80 may do a little better on ebay than they normally do.

Why not keep them in the boot of the car, where they will be handy for those odd times you've just gone out with body and kit lens and wish you hadn't

You don't by any chance work for Pentax UK marketing do you Smeggy?

Perhaps if you replaced the wine glass with a lens your photography would improve

The ones they keep well away from the cardiac wards

That's a daft question Naim, everyone's going to tell you to sell the lens they want to buy I don't need either, I've already got a DA*50-135, let me know when you tire of the 60-250

Simple answer is to ask yourself which of the two do/did you use the most, but I will hazard a guess that the majority of votes will tell you to keep the Pentax.

The original meaning of the word Photography isn't strictly true, even with film we didn't "draw with light" we simply allowed the light to fall onto a light sensitive emulsion, we do exactly the same with a digital sensor.

How much manipulation is done to either is a matter of personal choice, as JR says in the days of the darkroom images were still manipulated, even incorporating elements from several images and combining them into one Today it's just a lot easier to do in photoshop etc.

Is it unfair that someone should strive to get the image right in camera only to be beaten in a competition by a heavily manipulated image? well that did apply to images shot on film too, even transparencies could be manipulated by sandwiching two or more slides together.

It is extremely annoying though, I've seen otherwise rather mundane images win competitions simply with the application of an artistic filter, when digital photography first took off someone coined the acronym GIGA garbage in garbage out, which in essence is no longer true.

I didn't think to check Walkeja's profile, and yes John Walker sounds a very English name

Walkeja on the other hand definitely sound foriegn, Polish or Czech or something equally un-pronouncable (no offence meant to Poles or Czechs)

If I have offended Walkeja in any way I apologise sincerely.

I shall stop now before I put my big foot in it again

I paid £5 for mine, and that was voluntary. one of the members of my club brought it in on our auction night and gave it to me as he knew I'd just bought the bellows, I volunteered to stick it in the auction but of course no one was interested, so I just bid a fiver towards the club funds

Mine will NOT be going on ebay, if it does I'll feel obliged to make a further donation to the club

The elements seem OK, I really will have to give it a thorough workout, but I've been messing about with the Takumar 55mm and a P30T that I picked up for a fiver at the same time as the bellows so my adaptor is otherwise engaged.

I think it's fast jets, considering I got a half decent pic on my first outing, with birds it took a lot more, the jets are a lot more predictable in their flight path.

I've still to do some really serious work with the stuff I took, so many pics and so little time

I think you guys could cut Walkeja a little slack, I'd take a guess that English is not his native tongue and he's doing his best to ask questions with a limited vocabulary.

Walkeja, to answer your question:

It does not matter how the image started it's life as long as it was captured with a Pentax Camera, it does not matter how much or how little (if any) manipulation is done in photoshop, non of these thing prevent you from entering the competition.

Whether or not the judges will choose a manipulated image over one that has had very little done to it is another matter, that will be down to the judge/s and no one on this forum can answer that.
