Can you clone out that thick stalk under the chin?

Very nice - I'm impressed that you managed to get this handheld, even with the benefit of a decent shutter speed and IS!

Hi Stu,
Nice shot catching it mid scratch.Nice detail in the darks and white's. Was this taken at Lackford?? Agree with Andy if you can clone it out.
Regards
Rob

Thanks for the kind words,I've had a go at the clone job,not my favorite tool
Rob,this is from levington lagoon near felixstowe,I was told there is a peregrine and a pair of buzzards there,and a kingfisher.But I saw nothing but wigeon and BTG's.

Hi Stuart, Nice shot and I agree it would be nice to get that bit of fresh air back under its chin. Exposure and comp look good to me and it's a nice bit of behavioural to add to the mix.
When you repost, you should be able to just use the browse facility to add the new .jpeg file next to the "Reply to this Topic" button. I've put a couple on ion the past and they have worked ok. Eric
