Challenge: Free Study 2007-05 (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Nikon D70s
Lens: Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro for Nikon
Location: Side of my house
Date: May 27, 2007
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/400
Galleries: Nature, Animals
Date Uploaded: May 31, 2007

 I didn't have my lens hood with me and it produced a pretty nasty lens flare in the bottom left corner. I was able to crop a bit to get rid of most of the annoyance. Other editing trick I tried to tone down the remaining flare looked pretty bad so I left the remaining flare alone.

The fence line bugs me, but thats the way it was built.

Editing steps:
levels
slight shadow/highlight
selective color
resize/sharpen

pretty light and background - this would be so much better if we could see the bird's beak

Very nice & lovely feel to this image. I love how small the bird is on the fence & the sun is beaming down on him/her. Beautiful, should finish well. Good luck!

great shot. Needs to be a little straighter but still a good shot.
