The same bird I posted before, but he moved his head out of the direct light so the feathers look black. Two versions, straight photo and as an oil painting.
80D, 100-400L mk2 @ 400, 1/1000 @ f/8.0, ISO 5000 hand held in shadow near sundown.
Oh, too much of the heavy wire he was perched on in direct light to bother changing so I just cloned it off as if it were cut.

They all look better in download. In fact in the thumbnail they are pretty awful.

They're all nice, Jerry, but I prefer the middle one.

All great shots, Jerry, but I'm voting for the painted version.

Thank you, my choice also, otherwise I wouldn't have done anymore.
