Theme: Long-tailed Tyrant
I photographed a lot of birds in Costa Rica in February, and in the last few days I have tried to process them with various filters for this theme, but always decided that the filter detracted from the beauty of the bird. Then I read Denise Ippolito's latest blog on high key images, and realized that a few of the images I took on a rainy, gray day in the rain forest would work really well as high key images. For this image, I used the High Key filter in Nik CEP. It actually improved the image of the bird...it brought out more detail in its wings, and I thought it made the tree pretty interesting as well.
