Nice flyover, I like the underwing details, eye contact and nesting material. I would desaturate the sky a few points.

I like the nesting material and details, ditto desating the sky a bit.

Nice one Callie, like the underwing details & the nesting material. I have somehow never managed to see a black-headed heron- where did you capture this? Like the sky as is.
Good pose and details - eye contact and nesting material are great, Callie. Agree on knocking back the saturation on the blues.

Thanks Guys, much appreciated. I noticed when I saved the file for web, that the blue suddenly intensified, Why I cannot tell. This is the first time that I went out to shoot RAW, and this is just a random file I picked out of about 700 I shot on Saturday. I opened it in Capture NX, Which I do not know at all, since my PS does not "do" D300 RAW files, and only picked the black, white and neutral picker, then saved as a tiff, opened in PS and this is it? Anyone can tell me why the save fro web did it? Maybe I srewed-up something in Capture? Trying a lot of new things out since I am learning a lot here, thanks again.
Hi Betsie
You can find them right in Hlederkruin! :D We sometimes see them next to the road near where we live. This was taken in Lonehill, near Leeukop, about 34 km from where we stay. You can phone and I will explain how to get there. Just drop me an e-mail

nice pose and detail - glad you started using RAW Callie...
I agree on desaturating the sky - I would also selectively lift the levels on the under-wings a bit.
I think the colour difference probably came in with a conversion from Adobe RGB to sRGB or something?
