First edited in Photoscape Pro X- here I just sharpened and brightened the head and eye. I also removed lower left small branches. Then I moved over to Luminar AI where I did sky replacement, with my own sky....the Eagle is the main subject so I didn't want to draw away from it with too much sky....I like this subtle sunset. I also used Composition AI to get this final cropped version.

Pg 27 - Awesome job, Nancy! I really like this one. Tim
This is one of the new colts born on Assateague Island this spring. He was recently named TJ Hollywood. His dam, Susie Sole, is my foster horse. She is by far my favorite mare at Assateague! Incidentally, naming rights to the wild horses are usually auctioned off on Ebay - all funds go to support keeping these horses safe and wild. This year with the explosion of newborns, 3 were auctioned and 2 were raffled, giving more people a chance to win naming rights. I've seen some of these Ebay auctions go well over $1,000 (waaay over my budget!) so I was excited to be able to buy a few $10 raffle tickets for a chance to name one. I didn't win, but it was still nice to be in the running!
For this one all edits were done in Photoscape Pro X: Cropped and sharpened.
