    Thank you Mital.

    That particular shot is the only one I got of them fighting over that leaf, unfortunately. I agree it would have been better without the OOF bird in the background. I don't use the full Photoshop (I use Lightroom) - not sure what the best way would be to eliminate or at least de-emphasize that bird in the background. Perhaps within Lightroom I can use the paintbrush to decrease the exposure and clarity of that area to take some of the emphasis away. The shadows adjustment on the foreground birds shouldn't be difficult - I was shooting towards the middle of the day so the original was too bright, and I adjusted the blacks slider upward in lightroom. There should be plenty of room to bring up some shadows if I decide to re-process it.

    Appreciate the comments.
