In-Coming Razorbill

[denise ippolito]

I took this image at Machias Island. I was looking for a couple of random shots of the masses -did an Orton effect and some clean-up of birds along the frame. I also cloned in a bird on left.:) I liked the semi-B&W look to this but felt the image popped more w/ the orton and slight color of the rocks

I'm having some trouble finding images for the theme as well-so just keep posting what you can:)

Great group shot, Denise! I like your use of the Orton effect. I wonder what it would be like with the in-coming bird a little sharper. He makes a great focal point, and it might be interesting if he stood out even more.

Cindy, Here it is w/ the bird masked out. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Denise, I liked the effect you created in the image. Thought it might be a bit busy for my taste so I cropped out some on the left and removed a few birds. If I missed something while cloning its due to just getting back from the eye DR and things are a bit blurry...

Thanks Dave, Good suggestion.

Hi, Denise. I like your repost, and I like Dave's version, too.

Reposts are great, and love the image overall anyway. I hope you were able to get a landing bird big in frame while you were there! That looks so nice! :)

Nice image, but I have to admit that I tried to clean my glasses about 10 times when I first saw the original. :o Little too blurry. But the revisions are an improvement. Not that they have to be sharp, but my eyes were starting to hurt from trying to focus on something!! :eek: ;) :D :D

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Denise - it's a cool image and I think I like the main bird a little sharper as in the repost. Neat idea:cool:

Very nice, Denise. Like the orton effect and the bird coming in. The reposts are a definite improvement.
