Hello, got a chance to get out this morning and take a few. Michigan is finally starting to cooperate with the weather. This female RWBB was anxiously wanting to feed the young ones with both dragonflies. I wish the background was farther away. Ran Noise reduction on the background and a run of multiply to darken bright spots.
Hope you enjoy C and C welcomed

Gary, as noted above, that eye visible is a huge plus here. I like the BG. I think this can work as horizontal as well....if there is nothing distracting on the right side. A round of USM on the bird can make it better. Bird is a bit soft as presented.
