Before / After editing this Bald Eagle shot I took. The 255 colors gif doesn't do it any justice, but you get the Idea..

Getting rid the power lines is an improvement. We have large eagles here that get taken-out by power lines because their wing span can short the lines. The colors are a big improvement as well.

Nicely done racer

Good shot and good post-processing!

Thanks. Those are High Tension power lines from the Hydro-Electric power plant. The Eagles often nest on the power towers.

I deleted the background and made a new sky using a color gradient. I then rendered some clouds and applied much Gaussian blur to them to make them look more realistic.

Their wingspan must be less than the distance between the high tension lines. Our eagles are about the same size.

We also have hydro electricity. It looks like the eagles here get killed on smaller distribution lines.
You must be in a really cool place with hydro and eagles.
Saw an eagle playing around one day. It was dropping something from it's talons and and swooping down and catching it.
Too high up to see what it was.

Been meaning to tell you your racer-x airplane is a good GIF. The animation loop works really well

Beautiful job, Racer-x. Love what you did with the image.

I made that Airplane animation Sig a few years back when I wanted a cool Sig. Not sure I still have the project files. I could post how to make it in the Animation forum, but I doubt there would be much interest.

Excellent work!
