In the air?

    Until you can fix the blue ghosting, I would say in the air.

    Ric, these are not your every day shot of a wood duck, so right where they are is fine nice catch btw.

    Yes...I see it now that you pointed it out.

    Guess CS5 "decontaminate colors" isn't perfect. I'll have to watch that...particularly if I decide I want to view at 200%.

    Was the original in the air? I think I like the air shot best.

    OOOH I like the top one best. Very nice image. That is one cute pose and very neat to see off the water.

    The second has much more dimension and the duck looks less flat than in the 'air' pped one.

    Thanks, Don.

    That's what I was looking for...I just need to do a better job relocating him. :D

    Ric, if you take the second image and use a lens blur on the background just a touch the second one just might look better with that filter added. Just a thought.

    You may be able to isolate the blue around the branch and change it to a dark green. I think that would make the blend better.
