Allen & Ginter "Clapper Rail" (Graphic Novel)

I'm not sure that today's photo has a "winner". I was trying to edit an Allen & Ginter bird image (a clapper rail) from the  Metropolitan Museum of Art website. I tried to smooth the image out from its original half-tone print (and remove the text,) but I think the best version of my edit was the black and white graphic novel version. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)
