Cropped, light sharpen bird, NR to BG, desaturated the early morning reds.

[Paul Burdett]

Nice capture Colin. She sure is singing! BG looks good too.

Colin:

Dramatic singing pose, like the crop/comp.

There is some significant chroma noise in the darks on the grays under the wing, and lots of small brown spots in the background, most noticeable above the bird.

Cheers

Is this another very large crop? IQ not great, maybe go a lot looser...

[Colin Driscoll]

Thanks Randy, no Dan not a large crop, just careless PP. I'll try again.

[John Mack]

The pose is great. Sweet light as well.
