I got lucky with that shot. I probably took eight or ten pictures of the bird and only two were usable. Thank heavens for Photoshop. They were shot in raw on a 5D so they were very high res. The picture has been greatly cropped. This sky was a dull gray so I put a layer mask on it, brightened it and added a bit of blue filter. Tricks of the trade. There will probably be more pictures from this little trip in the next few days. You had quite a surreal experience when you took this picture. I suppose, though, that it's more fun to be surrounded by beauty queens than fairy godmothers. Thanks for your comment today. I got lucky with that shot.
