Nice flight image, acorn a plus...sharp enough for large crop...TFS..Gracia

The bird is giving you a great pose, with spread wings, fanned tail, good eye contact, and an acorn. Not sure I like the pano crop; too much blue sky on the left of the frame.

A really nice pose, but I agree with Doug on the amount of sky to the left.

Did you run noise reduction on the bird? I was just wondering, because I felt as if it had a slight plastic look.
