wow, significant improvement in the processing of the second version

Thanks, Seapy gave me a couple of really good ideas. See the recent thread I posted in the Critques sub-forum.

Don't know how I missed this, yes much better, more dark and light detail, brings out the bird from the background.  Working with the original files is also a big advantage.

Glad I was able to help.

Another great image! Fantastic details when seen large, the bird does get really wet

PD: I'll get a 300PF ... eventually

Thank you, Armando. One good look at the quality of the images and I was convinced I needed the lens as well. I’m hoping it will go on sale sometime this fall.

Thank you, Peter. Much of what I know about the finer points of photography and especially much of what I know concerning editing photographs I learned on this site. Just goes to show the benefit of being a member of a community of like minded people, all dedicated to doing their utmost to improve their craft.
