Interesting the difference a couple of feet can make, David. The classic case of taking a step to one side. I just processed pretty much this same image, but I have several branches encroaching on the bird (I’ll post it in a minute). Excellent job on the processing.

Nice job on the cloning. Nice exposure and great pose - well captured.

Bird is very sharp… you removed enough branches to make this work well with the comp.
