As I was working on this one, I noticed for the first time since it was made, a hint of a snake lower left, but it didn't work for the comp, so I cropped it out.
Anyone have an explanation for the two bands that show up here? There was nothing between me and the bird to be oof, so I'm stumped. I don't see the same problem in images on either side of this one.

P.S. I would probably crop more from the right, but wanted to leave the band for folks to look at. I had a go at fixing it, but not much luck.
I have no idea how these two bands got there but am very interested if someone else has had this problem before. I like the look back pose and would sharpen the bird a bit more and do some CW rotation.
My guess is that you missed seeing something oof right in front of you... I do not see anything on the bird that looks really sharp so whatever it was--if it was--might have thrown off the focus.
later and love, artie
