I do not get many big birds in my part of the world. I do not do much editing to my photos. I just shoot in Raw format and convert them. If I want high sat. and contrast, I set the camera to it. I wish I could do editing as good as Larry does. But for now, I let the camera do the work. Larry you do some of the best editing work I've seen in the 30+ years I've been photographing wildlife.
Thanks, Regandon. It's nice to receive a compliment such as that. : )
I liked this photo and decided to practice with it in Photoshop. I used an old photo of the Blue Angels which I took in Chicago while they were preparing for the next day's air show, an annual event here. I dropped out the background in my original photos of the planes. Credit for the background image is below the image. : )

Here's a file you can use for a desktop photo, as is, or you can resize it smaller to save some memory. Or you may just want to experiment with it for a short time.
For U.S. coin collectors, I think it's rather exciting desktop, especially if your desktop photos, animate, zoom, etc.
This file is 4000 x 3690 pixels and I see that it is about 2.6MB.
