Hi Paul... I prefer the 1st version... I think the eye, the visible specular
highlight in it, makes it more appealing. My $.02.
We've got Orange Grosbeaks right now and Evening Grosbeaks in the autumn and
winter.

I haven't been able to process my photo of that Point Pelee Red Breasted
Grosbeak in a way that pleases me completely. The original was underexposed
by about a stop because I had thought I was going to be shooting him
against leaves rather than open sky. (I should have locked in a manual
exposure.) Anyway, i've had a tough time pulling detail out of the black
feathers without causing a lot of noise and general ugliness. I went back
for a second and third attempt. I think the new one is a bit of an
improvement even though there is less detail. Am I right?
Here's the original, which I posted a couple of days ago:

Here's the new version:

Should I delete the old version, the new version or both?
