It looks like a well-coreographed ballet. Consider attending to the brightest tones in the feathers to bring out the detail the same way you made that happen a few days ago in a different photo.
Wow....
Beautiful capture...
I had already done it, Mike...:-)
Not much difference from the first one, I reckon...still beautiful and nicely presented.
Just knocked down the brightest whites a bit to reveal more feather detail, IzzieK. I just got so caught up in working out the details of positioning each component of the composite, I forgot to go after the finer details.
It would stand a bit more highlight reduction for me Chris. Stunning capture though. You must live in a nature photographer's paradise.
Very nice Chris, I too suggest reducing highlights a bit
I've already knocked down the highlights and posted as such
