Hi Homer

Very nice image of the flying drake. Ideal position. There is a bit of a halo around the bird.

Cheers
Graeme

Fantastic flight shot-but halo is the issue.

Great looking flight pose and a perfect head angle. The repost is better but it looks like the shot was underexposed then brought back which created a halo that is still there, blocked blacks and a grainy blue background. To bad because the pose is awesome.

Thanks David,
I open up the shadow, darken the high light and run an automatic sharpening in Photoshop Elements 6
I have to do it again,thanks.

Super pose you caught here Homer, I am seeing the halo as well. You could try selectively sharpening just the bird.
