About the Image(s)

This is an image of Canada geese in flight I took at a local lake.

I wanted to do something different with the background, which was already soft. I masked the subjects, applied a path blur in PS, then gaussian blur. I used a soft brush at 21% opacity to blend the edges of the geese in a bit and masked two partial ones out. Basic ACR adjustments were applied to the geese along with Topaz Denoise.

Nikon D850; 200-500mm @ 500mm; 1/1000 sec; f/7.1; ISO 4500. Orig is included.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions.
