I did a huge crop on this because of a really dull and boring BG. I converted it to a pano crop and couldn't get the colors to look right so I added an Orton effect and think it came out okay...certainly better than what I started with.
Are the birds too diffused? Should I lose the reflections?

It came out very nice Julie,
The subjects are placed just right in frame...the pano crop fits well here. I like the effect applied here...good show...:cool:

I agree with Gus. You've taken an otherwise average photo and given it a nice boost.

I am so glad that you posted this. Timing couldn't be better for me. Other than being a wonderful shot, it gives me an exampole of where I need to aim in my Orton efforts, very subtle ,and effective. Regards

Love the tones of browns in this with the purple in the ULC. Orton sets it off well Jules.
