    David:

    Welcome to BPN!

    Very nice dorsal wing display on the lead bird. I like the vegetation in the foreground.

    The image overall looks a bit saturated, and the IQ seems a bit soft.

    Is this much of a crop?

    From a compositional standpoint, generally works well to have more room for the bird to fly into.

    Look forward to more.

    Cheers

    Randy

    The front bird is a handsome juvie. Not sure on the back bird. Yes to way over-saturated and or too much Detail Extractor ... And ditto Randy on the more room in front and not the greatest image quality.

    Knocked the saturation and redid post processing for some improvement. This handheld image was shot after sunset.

    Better, and bigger, but still overdone a bit.

    with love, artie

    ps: still love that great dorsal view of the front bird.

    With the Saturation set to -7 the colors look more natural to me.
