Hi Alfred,

The bird's wing detail came out nice. The white on the heads is a wee bit hot on my LCD screen and also has a bit over-sharpened look. Hope you are doing well.

I agree with Jeff's comments above. The symmetry of the bird's pose gives a pleasing effect. I might run some NR on the wings.

[Chris Kotze]

Great flight angle captured. Ditto over-sharpen that caused a slight halo.

[Jeff Nadler]

Alfred, a second look shows a halo around the legs as well.

I like the wing position and agree regarding noisy wings and S/H halo.

Hi Axel Maybe you can figure the mystery S/H was not used at all in the image and sharpening (very light) was done on the bird only and contracting three pixels? ... any clue?
