Cloning | | dB_grafix
(3019) [2008-07-14 20:52:37] [2] | What I did is clone out the top leaf in center, and remove shadows from the branch on the left bird.
Still a very nice image from you. |

Crop | | dB_grafix
(3019) [2008-05-19 22:28:27] [1] | Many times I have the same branches, and do not like them, so a crop is all that is required.
The angled branch looks good on your shot in my opinion.

I took some yellow out of the feathers and added a bit of contrast.
This is a very good in flight.

Lighting changes | | dB_grafix
(3019) [2008-01-23 00:51:57] [2] [+] | Darkened shadows, Darkened Highlights, added some mid tone contrast, then adjusted brightness. Added a bit of unsharpmask.
Given your sunshine,I figure that you could count on a few certain camera settings. A still subject like this would mostly be set around 1/250 sec at an f/8 on my camera. It gives nice DOF that way, and wil not cast too much light on the whole surroundings.
Anyways...that's what I normally find from my exif data, so I stick to it on manual settings.
But then I shoot always in RAW, and it is easier to adjust the balances afterwards.
Please take some more of this bird. It is a really colourful and unique species. I rarely get a chance to see this type. |

(3019) [2007-11-22 22:55:29] [1] | Hi Angelina.
I darkened some highlights by about 25% then lightened shadows1%
I then added some contrast and took away some brightness so I could try and take the light grass. One thing I like is he crop you chose with the branches coming from the side. |

clone | | dB_grafix
(3019) [2007-10-26 01:10:48] [1] | I took out the fence or whatever that was because I just wanted to see if it would do something for it.
Let me know.
It sure is a nice image because of the position of butterfly. |

Uncropped | | dB_grafix
(3019) [2007-09-11 23:38:59] | Hi to all of you who critiqued the wing clip.
This is the original uncropped, unedited photo.
I resized it for here, but this is how it came from camera.
My thoughts were to show more detail on the feathers,and also crop so that the bird looked larger.
I still missed a bit of the wingtip,so that is why my latest evenings are spent practicing.
Thanks for your views on it. |

Illumination Fix | | dB_grafix
(3019) [2007-07-12 19:58:51] [1] | | I used a filter called Lotus Illumination Fix Toolkit to give the subject a bit of light, and darken the background. In Photoshop I did a bit of reduce noise. |
