Great Blue Heron in boring late season plumage.





Young Red-tailed Hawk.



Bald Eagle in poor light.



And, a cute little feller.

Great work – especially the possum!:thumbsup:

If you could clone out some of the branches which are “going through” the eagle, it would greatly improve this shot. Shouldn't be too hard, since the cloning source is just plain sky.

Don’t worry about the lighting – I think it’s great!

If you could clone out the twig which is “going through” the eagle’s back, it would greatly improve the shot. Shouldn't be too hard, since the cloning source is just plain sky. t!

I thought of that as soon as I posted. Thanks.

How's this?

[A.M.D.A.]

MUCH BETTER!!!

Just try to “blend in” a little more – I can faintly see the circular cloning marks. Use a larger, soft-edged brush, lower the opacity, and clone from as near an adjacent area as possible.

Just can't satisfy some people. Actually, all I can detect is a dust spot by his back. Then again, I am using my laptop and things don't show up as well on this. I'll probably redo it on my other PC at a later date. It doesn't take all that long. Anyway, thanks for the hints.

OK, I redid it on my desktop.
