Great image Joe and what can you improve on ? About as perfect as one could wish for nice details and processing. I should have hundreds of these guys. All over the state and a huge island rookery not far. But vey spooky to get near here. Love that blue in the background. TFS
DATPCA. It looks as if you did a good job of lightening the underwing shadows ...

Hi Joe ... nice one , tone and color are looking very pleasing to me .
Personally I would like to see a wider crop ....

Andreas, I hear you regarding the crop. A tendency of mine when I have a beautiful bird I crop tight to show off the bird. Easy fix. Thank you for viewing and commenting.
