Theme: Greater Yellowlegs

I used an orton action at 50% opacity and Topaz Clean2.

love the soft action.....the histo looks a bit scrunched and the image "may"
be a bit flat. Just my old eyes opinion.

Your avian images are really nicely captured

Dave, I agree it's a bit flat. Not much color in the orig. I added a contrast boost. Let me know if it helps.

Hi Denise, Yes, the contrast boost helped the image. The water drops add alot to the overall image!

Hi Denise: excellent job, especially with Clean2 that can sort of get out of control. The contrast boost helped, but to me at least, the image seems a bit too dark, regards~Bill

Hey Denise,
Contrast boost definitely helped......nice use of the Orton effect too!

Thanks everyone for your comments. I appreciate them.
Bill, I think it could go a bit lighter-good idea, I'll give it a try.

Hi Denise. Really cute little one and I love the drops! The effect is well controlled and I like the way it accentuates the plane of focus, which seems to move around a bit. Agree that a just a tad more in the highlights and mids might be a good thing.

Great action shot, Denise! Very good use of effects.

Hi Denise, very nice effect. Repost rocks!
