Begging Little Blue

[denise ippolito]

I added the Topaz Clean filter and masked back in the eyes. I do see a small halo on top of the adults head and the young ones bill that I will fix later.

BTW-I do know these are Great Blue Herons. I used the word "little" to mean young.

pretty quick denise and wonderful shot to make clean for. i'll post mine at 10:30 i think have to wait until my clock reset. bit of a sharpness addition would eliminate with a little out of focus feel on head.

may be texture recovery would also work because with these herons the Clean effect surely would add halos though its not halos but they sure look a like :)

I love the comp. Neat capture! I think clean works well here but I also would have sharpened it some like I did the dragonflies. If you were going for a softer look then of course you wouldn't do that.

Nice capture and effect on the birds, Denise. Beautiful bg and btw loved the title...

I love the little one's spikey "do". Agree with Mital that a bit of sharpness would probably be cool. I love the "clean" filter. Dan Brown got me interested in it. :)
