I simply couldn’t choose one of two photos taken this afternoon, so posted both on my Photoblog. I heavily cropped… meaning, I was far away and cropped to the hawk when I uploaded the pictures to my computer. A lot, ok most of the time, the pictures are too fuzzy to use when you do that. Fortunately for me, these worked out alright after I put my Paint Shop Pro to use by lightening the photos overall, blurring the background a bit to rid the noise and then sharpening the eye. Here are the direct links to both:
