Blurring

I blurred BG, add some sharpness and contrast in some places. I also croped the picture a bit to improve the composition.
Hope you like it.

OE areas

(9272) [2006-03-14 15:01:36] [3]

I tried to do something with the OE grass, but that's not very easy because the burned out places are quite big and lots of details was lost.
I tried to cover OE places using clone tool, but the results didn't look too natural, so I blurred this part of the grass quite strongly. Now it looks too flat I think, but maybe a bit better than before.

PS. I also removed some noise from BG and changed the colours a bit to remove a slight blue tinge.

Well, mostly sparrows are visible here, but it's only a small part of the flock.

Some adjustments

(9272) [2006-02-02 12:44:13] [3]

I think there's a lovely low light here and it should be better visible. I brightened the picture (levels, brightening), blurred BG to remove the noise from there, change colours to more warm and add some contrast. I think now the picture is less gloomy.
I hope you like it.

The picture has quite poor quality, but I think you can clearly see a mosquito here. Picture taken with flash, late at night.

I made some adjustments, mostly lighting, contrast and blurring BG. I also crop the picture a bit stronger to show he main subject better.

"warming"

(9272) [2006-01-01 04:56:30] [2]

I wanted to make the photo a bit more sunny and warm. I didn't like the blue hue on the BG because it make the photo too glomy, so I mask out the main subject and change colours of BG and blured it. Later I also "warmed" the colours of b'flies a bit.

Hope you like it :)
