Another one from this afternoon, Jeff

[Grandpaw]

Got this one this afternoon. I know it would be better without the limb but I couldn't move it, Jeff

You can GIMP it out... or PhotoShop it out! I do think cloning might work well. Also add some UnSharp Mask.

This is a different angle of the same bird in the same place, Jeff

I like that last one. Very peaceful-looking.

I like the placement of the heron in the 1st one better - but the branch is a problem.

Personally, I don't use the clone tool (except fot dust spot removal) and some images just aren't meant to be.

Both good shots, congrats.

Pretty! Too bad about the stick, but whadyagonnado?

Our herons up here, never look that pretty. Nice captures.
