Thanks everybody. Finally able to get DDP downloaded last night. Haven't had a chance to really play around with it yet but my initial impression is it's not user friendly. Hopefully when I get a chance to spend some time with it I will change my mind. I have a couple of weeks off the first of June. Hoping to have a lot of time for it then.
Never thought about using paint to remove the branch. Thanks. Fortunately the background of mangrove trees in shadow was very dark. When I cropped the shot it came out almost black.
DPP is a basic raw converter, no frills. If you're new to raw processing you get a chance to start learning without an investment up front. Down the road you may want to add additional software including a different raw converter. However, there are Canon users out there who stick with DPP for their base raw conversions. One reason for that is DLO. There's a module in DPP called (D)igital (L)ens (O)ptimizer. It's software engineered by the people who engineered your lens. It's designed to get the very best out of your lens and I have yet to see any non-Canon raw conversion software (thinking Adobe LR here) compete with the results from a Canon lens/DLO combination. No matter what you ultimately end up doing it'll be a compromise. You're best off in the end when you know all the parameters of the compromises you've made.
