Hi Al,
fantastic idea, showing before and after pictures!
You guys make such a good job; thank you for all of your time!
:D Great example of how to pull out the best of this BIF shot. Thanks for sharing and showing. But come on Al, "Bird"??? :D
......................... bird it is :) ............. at the time sounded better than avian subject :eek::cool:
Great idea to show before and after versions. The processed file looks great. There is a vertical line on the right side close to the edge, though.
Al,
Overall a good improvement in composition and presentation
Just a couple of points that are easily dealt with - I am getting some feather cloning shadows on the lower wingtip just behind the wing and there are also some sharpening halos on the top of the upper wing, lower edge of the lower wing and bottom of the leading edge of the tail that aren't there in the original.
but as mentioned these are easily remedied
HTH
