Paul - the tail was as you see it. The little oddity in the far back of the tail is an OOF bush limb.

This is great, but I think I like the first one in flight even better.

You can delete the rest, this one by far is the best. Is the oddity with his tail feathers a result of post processing or has this fellow been in a tussle with something else. From the looks of those talons I’d be keeping my distance, 200 mm might be a touch close. Paul

I actually increased the saturation of the background on this one, as I liked the overall gentleness of it.

Thanks. I also ask myself, would I frame it and hang it.
Business plays a role. That is why I am working on a style that reduces the impact of the background - desaturate and darken and blur.

Hey Jim, you are really doing very exceptional work with these entries, though I do say that I personally prefer the less busy ones. Best Wishes and Kudos, Traveller
