    cropped the snot out of this. Does it work, or too much cropping and degredation of image?

    original.

    Thanks for input.

    I think it looks pretty good. It has a slight green tinge on my monitor, but that may just be my monitor.

    Did you confirm that this is a juvy Baldy?

    its marginal based on that crop, especially when comparing against those beautiful shots you have been showing us lately. Have to agree with Frank, does have a green tinge to it?? Having said all that, still really like the image Harris ;-)

    is this version better, less green?

    original.

    it was late afternoon and I had wb at 5900. I think I changed it here to 5400 in pp'ing. Also decreased the green channel. Any better?

    Must be my monitor but I don't see any appreciable difference in the images.

    Even with all of the cropping you mention it is still a very good product.

    Nice capture.

    I don't see any difference either. How much did you decrease the green channel level? I've had to go over -10 occasionally.

    That's better, Harris, but the biggest improvement was in changing to a less agressive crop. The subject looks much sharper now.

    I like the pose this bird did for you Harris. Is he one of your trained raptors? :D

    Great shot Harris, I like the extra width of the second one.

    Sure wish I could have found one of these to shoot when I was in Florida last week. Oh well, it will make me go back again. Nice shot Harris.
