Redshank...

Hi,

For reasons I am not going to go into here it has been a while since I have been active here and going out with the camera...

We did manage a few hours up on the Kent coast this morning, not a lot around but I was pleased to be able to grab a few frames of this bird...

All the best

Phil

Very smart Phil. Could be tempted to take out the dark wave if the crop suited the pic :wink:

I agree with Bob, just a smidgeon off the top, would suit me, sir. :wink: :biggrin: Nice to see you posting again.

Master at work :biggrin:

The only thing that's putting my eye out is the dark area at the top Phil, but if you crop it you knacker the comp.

There's only one thing for it matey, chuck it in Photoshop and blend it away - I'd be stunned if you could do it LR as the clone tool is frankly rubbish, and layer blending this image in PS would give a much better result than cloning anyway.

Just imagine if 10 West gave layers and blend modes to LR - now that would be something!

Cracking POV Phil. Agree on the top dark wave but a bit off the top should sort it or as Andy has suggested blend it away.
Nice to see you posting again.

Nick. :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :smile: :wavey:
