    Default Another Sandhill and Full Moon

    This one is from January, but is my favorite of this series. It has better wing position and bird separation than my more recent posting that was acquired this week. I actually thought I had missed this shot, and was nicely surprised to find it upon downloading.

    I like it so much I'm considering photoshopping in a sharp, focused full moon, with full disclosure of course. I've not done that before, so I'm interested in other opinions.

    I have nothing against ps in a moon. However, it might not look right. If you compare the two, you might like this one better. Let us know if you try it.

    I like the o-o-f moon. I would expand canvas right and move the moon there for a more balanced COMP. EXP is good and sharpness looks OK. I would greatly prefer the wings either in the full up position or in the full downstroke.

    For an image like this I prefer an OOF moon. Leave it as is, but I like Artie's idea of moving it after expanding the canvas...it should be an easy job to do :-)

    I like this image more than the last post too. Love the oof moon, and would not change that. I like Artie's idea too, and it will improve this already wonderful image..

    Great details, similar wing positions and the moon adds a lot. I agree regarding a slightly wider crop.

    WOW ! I prefer this one to your previous post ! If you wish to expand canvas , here's an article discovered yesterday by browsing another forum ( PPN ) http://www.photomigrations.com/articles/0810400.htm

    David,
    This one looks better than the previous post. I agree with the suggestion that the full upwards wing position or full down would have been better. Howver, I like this one with the out of focus moon. I feel it is better this way, than photoshopping.

    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi
