Pius, Well done as expected from you. We have many Northern Harrier hawks here in Washington state so get to photograph them often. Bruce
That is not ghosting or double images in the last 3 images, That my friend is the fine feathers on the birds face, you see it when the harrier has it's head turned at the right angle and light pass through it. Spend a little time looking at harrier images before you make a judgment call like that. There is no AI involved with those images. As for your interpretation of the backgrounds you might want to become familiar with the bokeh of a 600 f4 lens like Canon's, Nikon or Sony 600 f4 lenses.
Thanks you very much

The captures themselves are stunning. The backgrounds look like they were softened in editing, AI?
The last 3 images have some sort of ghosting / double image around the head.
I can confirm what Pius is saying ( Canon RF 600 F4 ) that's one of the reasons I choose that lens in certain situations. It just melts the backgrounds.
Honestly, I personally don't see the issue in softening backgrounds, if it makes the image more appealing. What's wrong with using improvements in cameras, software or anywhere else. We all strive to produce better images, there are many ways to achieve that. These are just my personal thoughts, others may have different opinions. That's perfectly fine as well.
