Northern Harrier doing it's thing. 4 images stitched in PS CS3's photomerge. I had to drop one of the images in after the merge as it wasn't accepted. These images were a bit under exposed, which did produce some noise which I didn't repair in this post.

Dan, I like the overall image, agree w/ you on the noise-wish they were not touching, I'm not sure if those are clone marks around the front and back bird but would do some touch-up-This image is very COOL! You did a very good job stitching them together. Congrats!!

[Dave Mills]

Dan...nice sequence you put together. On my monitor there seems to be a green caste on the bird...

[denise ippolito]

Dan, I agree with green cast-didn't notice it before.

This must have been a lot of work Dan. I love these sequence shots. I think separation of the birds would have made it look even stronger.

Worth going after the noise Dan I like it a lot !!! Might try blurring the bg just a bit to see if you can have the birds at different levels !!! Big Congrats !!

Hi Dan,
Tough one....but worth exploring the tweaks. Yeah...it's still about the HA....even in here!

[Julie Kenward]

I agree...fix up the little things and it's going to be a really stunning image. I love the perfect focus on the bird - great detail!
