I really like the first shot, but I would clone out the small twigs; an easy task with all that blue sky. Was this processed thru Neat Image? Here's a link to some of my work:

Thanks for the replies. Dave, I've just started using Apple Aperture and I'm still trying to come to terms with the sharpening and NR side of it.

If you have the latest version of DPP it has a very good noise removal facility.....it's a free update if you have the original disc from your camera installed. www.moparuk.co.uk

Thanks Mitch. These birds are a winter visitor to our shores and this year they are rather scarce. Thanks Dave I'll look into that.

Nice introductory images. Perhaps a tad overly noise-reduced but others have said that. Looking forward to more of your postings as I have longed for years to see this guys in the UK. Where did you see them? Anke
