Thanks all for the comments on my Birds of Kenya - Part 1 thread. Glad you enjoyed the series. I've just finished processing a few of the raptor shots I captured while in Kenya recently.

Hope you enjoy them.

Cheers,
Harry C

Nice Kenya raptor shots Harry, Do you apply extra sharpening to just the head ? Some of the heads look a tad over sharpened to me. TFS

I noticed that as well Herb, but I'm not sure what's going on. I only use a fine 'smart sharpen' action overall in photoshop where appropriate. When I view these images directly at my site (colquhoun.smugmug.com) I do not see this extra sharpening at all. I'm not sure where it's coming from.

Regards,
Harry C

Amazing raptor collection, Harry. I love them all but the top 2 raptors I like most are Long-crested Eagle and Martial Eagle. Excellent work.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. I'm curious if anyone else sees these images as over-sharpened? The sharpening I used is pretty much my default workflow when processing a picture and I thought it was quite minimal. Curious what other people think.

Regards,
Harry C

These are sensational, Harry. Every one of them is terrific. Detail is spot on, and not oversharpened to me. Bet you wish you were back there right now.
