Hi Bruna. Thank you for the guidance, greatly appreciated. I took the shot into Photoshop and replaced the sky, worked on the areas indicated, changed the crop, placed a bit of light in the eye. Tiltled – Lonely sky.

Len, this image works much better. However, with birds, you need to keep a close eye on the different colours of the feathers. Some of the colours are spilling over to the background. I will add your image (cellphone) again to show you where to look and a photo of a White-headed Vulture to demonstrate the difference. Unfortunately, the platform will not allow me to attach two images. So, I will post the second image on its own.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful images with us, Len. Regarding feedback, let’s start with the White-headed Vulture: It is as sharp as possible, and you perfectly captured the detail in all the different-coloured feathers. Unfortunately, the available natural light was an issue for you, which we sometimes struggle with. The Vulture is beautifully placed in your frame, and the composition works well. However, I have spotted a few editing issues here. I hope you don’t mind; I took a snappy of your photo with my mobile to point out a few problems that could be sorted out in Lightroom. The top arrow points out Chromatic Aberration along the body line at the top of the Vulture. All the other arrows point out background issues. See if you can rectify these problems and post again.
I will delete my sample images as soon as you give me thumbs up.
