Juvy Pacific Gulls - shot pretty much right on twighlight - has a slight blueish cast - left intact as that is pretty much how it was.

Seemed very hard to get the soft downy type feathers to appear sharp.
Cropped and sharpened.

Hi Lance; Love the photo. You were talking about not getting down feathers sharp? Hope you don't mind me using part of Artie's workflow from his Digital Basics download, 89 pages that I like the best of his offers because it is small & nimble: http://www.birdsasart.com/digitalbasics.htm

Do you like the sharpening? . . . Uncle Gus :D

Nice work Lance, like the late light! They don't have any eyeballs?

[Lance Peters]

Nonda - they do LOL - just hard to see amongst the dark tones and soft feathers - much bette r at full size as well.

Uncle Gus - Thanks - not sure if its a tad too sharp now.

Hi Lance: That was just a quick example. I used just the sharpening portion of his workflow that has 4 methods, one that has never oversharpened which I probably should have used. Haste makes waste, and it's much better when the ultimate user does the job. I was very satisfied with the Gambel's quail I posted tonight, and it was done using the workflow from step one through the finished step. I've always said , "There must be an easier way." . . . .
