I faild to clone out the scratch and the dust on the negitive, I'm afraid I'll mess up the rain if I try and get carried away. It's the rain that I really like the most about this one.

I was unable to get rid of the scratch and was forced to crop it, and I lost the birds binding cable the only thing left to indicate captivity is the BG

Oh I didn't even notice that was rain until I read your text. Man, I wish it were more amplified, that would have been amazing. I wonder if maybe if you sharpened it?

I sharpened it up what I could, with my limited CS3 experience any further will exadgerate the grain.

Thats a shame. Still, very neat picture. The owl looks so... longing... perfect.

Thanks

I like the editing and cropping, the uncropped original IMO fills like it was missing something by not showing the lower haft of the owl

Thank you, and yeah, that something that was missing was a giant red white and blue sign telling people what the bird was.....
