Just returned home from the South Rim. These guys were quite plentiful. They would hang around the parking lots looking for handouts.

Dan, you always get so much detail in your shots! Also, what a cool look--how did you process? Great work! Best, Pam

Love that sheen on the feathers, and as Pam already said, AMAZING detail.
Most unusual. I like it a lot.

Nice work on this image Dan.

Great shot! that background ... the bird must have been paid or bribed to pose like that :-)

ciao!

Thanks Pam. I used Silver Effex Pro 2 as a plugin for Aperture. Basically it's a toned b&w

Great processing and comp on that image Dave.

Is the new version of Silver Efex a significant upgrade from the original?

Thanks, Harry. I can't recall all the changes, but it is quite impressive. You can do the trial to see if you like it.

He was paid; I think visitors to the park must feed them. They hang around the parking lots and have zero fear of humans.

Thanks guys.
