Hi Everyone!
This photo is from my early evening "blurred" series of a white ibis just at dusk. As in my earlier post and review I found this photo to be the one that is most interesting and seemed to work. I had to crop some and used a couple of other adjustments in PS. Hope you like it and a Happy Thanksgiving to all. All comments, suggestions etc. welcomed!
Michael

Hi Michael, considering that this image comes from a crop I would try to made a different cropping, adding more room at the left, top and bottom of the frame to provide free space for the action of flying. I like a lot your result with slow shutter speed and the contrast between the white and black in this image is really pleasant to my eye. Please try a second round of noise reduction in the BG. Excelent job a very good image. Congratulations!
I like the effect very much Michael Flashed helped with the sharpness and is about the only way with birds coming at you. Beautiful effect for the 1/8 sec exp !!! Got a keeper !!!
