I am new to the BPN Forum and somewhat new to the digital photography world as well. Having grown up with my mother being a professional photographer, I received hands-on education in darkroom & studio work. Although that experience has helped me transition into digital, I have a lot to learn especially where processing is concerned.
The falcon was just one of many raptors we found in the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge a couple weeks ago. It's rare to find them just hanging out by the side of a road and this one was a quick catch before he took off. Taking the advice of some other threads posted on this site, I cloned out a thick branch piece that looked like it was sticking out of the falcon's side. This shot has minimal sharpening as the original crop had the falcon much further away.
