I think the photo will bring the point across a wee more with:
a) sharpening
b) a crop to off-centre the dead-centre dead eye,
and placing the turtle on more of a diagonal...

What say you?

PostProcess in Police Point Park... ;)

OK Mr. RP I like your shot a lot... been staring at it a while too... and finally found time to do an alternative.

You captured a splendid specimen, in a splendid way...

In my own "Less is More" mode I would have to say that I feel that the beauty of this finch is iterally somewhat obscured - in the presentation - by the large volume of wood...

So I tried a different crop to see if we can "highlight" the bird ;)

Other steps performed < apart from afore [ a) ]mentioned crop >
b) small adjustment to light and contrast < both >
c) wee colour adjustment

Of course all steps taken in my favorite PP=P2

"PostProcessing=Picasa2"

What say you?

Bob I think I see a lil bit of a colour hue on this shot... I tried to make it a it "crisper"
as follows :

a) wee adjustment to contrast and light
b) colour adjustment

< now check for example the wee leaf against the aspen bark on the left edge >

Hope you like, ;j.

PS All PP done in PICASA2; no other tools employed.

One program which I like a lot is PICASA2!

Here I used it to
a) adjust lighting and colour
and then
b) crop

I feel we can get rid of some of the OoF F/G.
Also didn't want to oversharpen this very nice capture. After all the fir on these weasels is very very soft and not at all spikey!

Hope you like!

a) level the water via a small "roll"
< it will put the reflections plumb below the avocet >
b) adjust sharpness, contrast and colour
c) crop such to get a kinda line from the lower right to upper left, with the reeds, the beak and tail...

Hope you like, TFS.

Used the "one-step" feature of PICASA2 to
adjust contrast, colour and balance.
Then did a wee crop to zoom in on this beautiful lil red fox!

You were lucky to get this "decisive moment"...

TFS! ;j.

I tried to get even closer to this BUTE!!!

1) tiny tweak of tilt
2) crop

It feels like a zoom... What do you think?

How would you feel about:
a) sharpen
b) rotate slightly while zooming in...

Zoom, zoom, zoom is just the bee-all and end-all eh when you reach the frame limits ;)
