I got all excited when I saw this as a thumb but am disappointed with the full size image. I don't like the processing, sorry for being blunt. The composition is excellent, but the sky looks replaced and the field too sharp, so nothing really looks like it goes together. A little more time and care doing the post processing would have made this really spectacular.

seems oversharp, but a wonderful capture and setting.

looks very photoshop'd

For such a great capture, WAY over processed.

I like the composition. Looks oversharpened in areas, such as around the bird and the bale of hay. A nice moment captured.

Cool shot, love the bird. Great catch.
