Now this beats the usual gull shots! Perhaps a bit more space below the bird so that it is diving into the shot.

Great shot Marek. I agree that it wants the space below the bird. Try a smaller brush and a hardness setting of around 50% to outline the bird on your layer mask and keep as close as you can to the edge. It is also easier to be accurate if you magnify the image a lot while you do it as well. I can see a line of noise round the outside of the bird.
Excellent action shot.

Hi Marek,

What a cracking pose to capture this well photographed subject! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Superb! I agree with a touch more canvas at the bottom of the frame would be nice! :biggrin:

Agree about more space at the bottom but what a well caught image.
As said its different for a Gull shot. :toast:
