Nice catch, Øyvind. A large large image would help in critiquing, but it looks like the tail kind of got lost in the haze. You might try burning the tail a bit to see if you can bring out a bit more detail. :smile:

Very interesting behavior image. I just love images that tell a good story and help us learn about the species.

I think this is a cool photo!! I like the hi-contrast look to it. It makes the image different. Nice shot!

I have blown out the background on purpose. Using +EV on site, and the rest in LR. Don´t know if it works however.

Not my best image techincally, but I think it´s an interesting situation. Thanks for comments.

Your timing on the capture was excellent. As presented it gets a story across, and based on your second comment it was what you were looking for. I think I would like to see the original to see the BG as it was. This is losing the feeling of natural for me.
