To be very frank here i've made the left wing of the bird cuz there was a trunk obstacle over the wing. here is the original post. and this is cropped too.
as said yesterday i was hesitated to boost ISO as it was my first hand experience with 1D body so not raised otherwise could have got much more better speed to freeze the entire sequence.
Killer bird, pose, and underwing detail. There are some cloning smudges above the bird's left wing. After you fix that you can get rid of the branch through the tail :) That would work for me. To get rid of the smudges you could try a large 60% Opacity Clone Stamp Tool or, circle the whole smudged area with the Patch Tool and drag it over some smoother stuff.

Much better, excellent in fact. Now just a crop from the bottom; that will minimize the impact of that large perch.
