Steve, the thumbnail seem to be better than when you look at this one larger size. I wonder if you did alot of cropping on this one. Sorry, but just being honest my friend. On my monitor appears a little soft focus and has noise. Just not one of your better ones in my opinion. =^..^= sandi ♪
Well Steve, after all the comments above I need not say much more except that it looks as though you used the smudge tool on the bird. I don't know but except for that part it is a fine image.
