That's a wonderful image, Graham, however adjusted. Did you drop the masked area on a layer above the ai layer to see what the edge effect has been?

ANORAK ALERT :  is the black fleck on the birds white chest a mark on the birds plumage or an AI artefact?  the only reason I ask is I find the AI can make strange 'additions' in the blending area across the mask.

Not that it matters in this instance apart from holding AI to account when it comes to additions within the objects boundary.

This is the file almost as shot with no AI work at this stage. The finished image was created mostly with the expanding AI crop tool and did not take very long.

Well done Iain. I do love Kestrels, but never been in a position to photograph one. 

Although Jan took a video of one ripping apart a blackbird at bottom of the garden a couple of years back, when I wasn’t home. :banghead:



The poor blackbird at least ‘went’ on a full stomach as he was happily pecking on the fat ball on the lawn when the Kestrel dropped in for lunch.



I did wonder if the Kestrel was thinking “ This is very fatty bird”. :lol:

That is a good meal for a Kestrel.

He certainly didn’t hang around for a pudding! :lol:

When I came home there was nothing left apart from a few feathers, but I suspect a crow probably took the rest of the carcass after the Kestrel had enough.

Nice Redwing there Iain. Haven’t seen one around here for 5 years. 
We need really cold, snow covered weather to bring them into our area.  

Going back to the winter of 1984/5 we had a deep snow covering in garden for a long period. Our cats were bringing in Redwings every day because they wouldn’t/couldn’t eat the food we were putting out and were just keeling over. The field fares were happy with apples but redwings wouldnt touch it.They were also reticent to come nearer the house where the food was. Silly birds…but very similar in tempremant to song thrushes.
