As another commentor pointed out, there is something wacky about #3. There are pink/purple splotches on the left side and the upper right corner of the photo as posted. I'm not a pixel peeper, they are very obvious. If it was my photo, I would be more concerned about getting some light on the bird's face so his eyes were more visible, and not worry about a blue sky background. I'm not a postprocessor, but have no problem with replaced skies et. all. It's just not for me!
Tks for uour detailed review, Chief. Unfortunately, none of that is visible to me due to severe vision issues.
