An immature osprey excercising his wings. One if this years young, but now old enough to fly.
Post process: rotate, crop, select sky only and use levels to intensify blue, deselect, hue/saturation, levels, unsharp mask, noise ninja, duplicate layer and set to "overlay", set fill on overlay layer to 36%, flatten, use clone tool to fix minor imperfections in my sky selection, resize, save.
