Or some work on the BG.

Hi Lance,
Actually, I like them both; each in their own class...The original is as is with not post processing, and the other one has the enhancements of modern technology. I like the raised wing position and the ready position. you have good sharp details and superb eye contact...good show...:cool:

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Like your new tripod Lance.:) Sharp, well exposed, and good wing position. Like the original with less saturated colours.

[Alfred Forns]

Both look very nice and something in between might be good !!!

btw bg looks very good I sure like it !!! Intensifying as in the re post changes the mood and I prefer the pastel look. Both are terrific !!!

[Gail Spitler]

Like the bird (position, exposure, sharpness, action), like the rock, like the tripod. Agree the bg is a distraction
Cheers
Gail

[Gus Hallgren]

Lovely shot, steady as a rock :)

Like both versions.

Very nice Lance. Great "action" shot.

[Harold Davis]

something in between works for me. love the compo! the rock perch is nice and the wing pose takes it over the top!

[Oscar Zangroniz]

I actually like the first one. Like the tripod used here. Excellent low angle.
