Hi Mark
No problem. That's why I changed the first post. I had three different "colour " versions and couldn't make my mind up. I can't see a lot of difference and yours looks a tiny bit blue but then I have this colour problemm any way. At least the bird's green !
The original ecktachrome had a few cour problems too.
Cheers

I did notice the change bud .
There appears to be a very slight scratch in the original near the beak and perhaps a very slight distortion in the lower left corner/part of the image too .1970! Ektachrome?What was the original gear as a matter of interest.

Hi Mark
The "scratch" is like saliva from the partly digested food its just fed the chick.
Don't know about the distortion,

How many of us on here have managed a shot of a GW like that? It just goes to show that there is a lot more to this lark than just having the latest gear. Nice post John. I bet you could count the number of us that have built a 25ft high scaffold to get a shot on the fingers of one foot. eric
