Congratulations Rene Quenneville !
flying owl

I took this picture last month at a birds of prey show near Atlanta. I have removed a few distracting elements in the background and the leather straps attached to the birds legs using the clone stamp tool in Photoshop element. This kind of show is a great practice ground, and it keeps the kids quiet while daddy enjoys the show!!

Great shot. My only criticism is that the white balance is off ie greenish cast. I do like the image
