Not too sure about this one I think the shutter speed should have been faster but the light wasn't too good and I took a gamble. Had to do quite a bit of PP in CS6, the juxtaposition of the birds is genuine,
all comments welcome.
I am amazed by the PP work- especially the tail. I would never have known.
I like the brightness of the original image better. Good interaction shown,
Gail
Well done with the PP work Jon. I did notice the tail being a little odd before I saw the second post. Birds we don't get around here at all much unfortunately

Jon that's a lot of work!
You really handle it pretty well, in fact, I doubt I would have tried since there is a lot of time envolved in this kind of image but your hard work paid off! cool interaction, light and post work.
Thanks very much everyone, I did the repair to the tail by making a selection of the left side, I copied and pasted then moved it roughly to position. Then I right clicked and Transformed, then flipped horizontally, then positioned the selection and transformed shape until I thought it looked reasonable. The thigh was done by cloning. I have to thank Artie - I got his Digital Basics guide a few years back and this is where I learned the basic ideas from which I developed my own.
Spectacular action packed image with wonderful pp work .Excellent expressions you have captured here.Though used low ss blur of the wings adds lot to the image.
Rest as usual superb. Love the frame, Jonathan.
