Stormin_24 Cream of the Crop  More info | Jun 28, 2009 17:56 | #1 I captured it a few days ago... I was just playing around using a photoshop technique to bring out the dove more.. Half the image (top) was shaded by tree branches and the lower was in the brighter light but not sunlight... Like I said, just messin around...  New Hampshire State Bird: Purple Finch

Thanks Harvey, it's been raining here for 3 weeks and were going to have another week of it... So I thought I'd practice on a few of my lower lit pics... I'm learning..

Not sure what you did (BG looks saturated) but I'm a firm believer in trying new things out and finding a workflow that works best for you. Hi Duane, you should see the doves here perch on anything, including a feeder that's well kinda small for them, wings flapping just to keep balance at times while they feed.... Yes the BG is a bit saturated and I knew it but just wanted to get some input and I thank you all for it.. Maybe I'll see what I can do change it and what becomes of it...

The original pic was kinda dull and everything was basically in one light, except for light and dark shadows... I wanted to make the bird kinda pop out... New Hampshire State Bird: Purple Finch
