Hi Doug!

Great big welcome to BPN, hope to make your experience here pleasant and rewarding :)

Beautiful bird in flight, any reason why you were using f/11? Light must have been strong for these settings. You could try and open the blacks a little more and maybe go back a little bit on the sharpening.
Keep them coming!

Ah, you could upload the image to 800 pixels on the longest size!

nice Doug....may be a bit tight in the frame and be cautious of the sharpening halo along the top side

and a big welcome, this is a wonderful place to learn......at any investment!!

Hey Doug, Great seeing you here. (A zillion years ago Doug took me to dinner; I had the very best steak I have ever eaten, by miles.) IAC, love the really sharp flight image. Excellent critique by Fabs. Adding some canvas above would be a big help. Let's see some more!
