Taken a couple of weeks ago,I know a piece of grass as got in the way of its leg,I was wondering what you would do,keep it or bin it,cannon500mm IS,L,F4,1/4X ex,GIVING 700MM fl,7D,tripod,ISO500,1/400S,F5.6,crop,sharpened,level's.
Chris I think the rest of the image more than makes up for the bit of mush in front of the leg, but do understand where you are coming from, those are three fat juicy grubs.
Very nice job.
Cheers Keith.
A fine image except for the oof grass over the leg. The prey in the mouth really adds interest to an already nice pose. It's worth trying to add some contrast to the leg and surrounding grasses, to see if it makes the blur less noticeable. The image is most definitely worth keeping, and some effort to improve it.
What a great mouthful this guy has!
I would try cropping from the bottom to the mound of dirt and then increase the contrast around the leg to get rid of the OOF grass.
Definitely a keeper but I know how you feel about this. It is an "almost" great image but for the grass,

Keep, keep, keep. It might take me an hour or so with Photoshop, but I could clean that up so you would never notice it, and I am no expert. Someone with more skill could do it faster. The focus of the image is the beak/eye/grub area and it is absolutely perfect. Nice shot.
Gorgeous image, lovely quality, I scrolled the image down the screen to the bottom of the tussock, it doesn't get rid of the offending grass but it far less apparent. I would most definitely keep it!
Sweet!! My favorite of yours from this species so far. Yes, the oof fg grass is quite unfortunate though, but some strategic used of the burn and dodge (and perhaps sponge) tools should take care of that very well. The pose, food item, comp, and background all make it worth working on that.
