I so appreciated everyone's suggestions yesterday so I figured I would repost with the changes. I took the sky into camera raw filter and warmed it and then added gaussian blur. Then I burned the bird's right side a bit hopefully making it seem more as if the light was coming on it from top left as well as in the sky. What do you think?
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
I burned the bird a bit more and after about an hour got rid of as much as the purple box as I could...I never could figure out in my layers where it came from
Definitely improved! Ok, one more suggestion--don't kill me--can the yellows on the harrier be brought down some? The body feels blown out to me--which is why I see the light coming from photographer side. The sky is much improved although on my screen, I'm seeing a vertical line of purple (on left) and blue (on right) that starts just at the left edge of the far right cloud in the right hand corner.
