Marsh Harrier

[snappa]

Taken at Stodmarsh yesterday. I only use PSE as I am pretty useless at pp`ing but I think there may be a proper piccie hiding here somewhere ! Should anybody care to have a bash at it then I would be truly grateful.
It would be appreciated if you could tell me exactly that which you did though as I feel I am missing out.

in CS3 i gave a bit more satuation then ajusted color balance -10 cyan and + 6 green then brightness and contrast -4 contrast + 10 brightness.
Hopefully it looks better :)

Given that getting ANY shot of a bird in flight that is sharp shows considerable ability, my only gripe with the original is that there is a blown highlight on the bird's head. Some of this may be recoverable if you shot raw and can play with the levels a bit on the raw image. I think the colour balance is about right, and it's still a pretty good shot.

Thank you bugaboo, eccles and Rob.
Eccles, It took me all of my time to get the shot so the blown head was not really in my thinking at the time. I do tend to panic when presented with an opportunity such as this. I did take more than this piccie but they were not up to scratch really. Plus yesterday was very bright anyway.
Rob, Thank you very much indeed. It is much appreciated. Unfortunately my pp`ing skills are practically non existent so I have not ventured as far as CS3. I only wish that I could get the hang of pp`ing as I probably delete more shots through lack of knowledge than anything else. Thank you again for your time and trouble.

ALthough i use cs3 the units - 10 cyan etc etc will be very close with Any program so just try things its the only way to learn ;)
