Before and After Little Blue

[Alfred Forns]

This is an old image taken with original 1Ds from Little Estero Lagoon First is the image as it came out of the camera only reduced to for posting Second worked image

For cropping I chose to start at the foot Had a little more below but did not want to cut at the joint There is enough room for virtual foot an a little more Bird was place more to the left to have the wake Sort of breaks the rule in this case is justified

Firs it was straighten using the measure tool Noise Ninja Levels Curves resized and sharpened

Wow, the water movement trailing behind the bird looks so abstract. What is that imprint in the lower right? The sharpen has worked well and the image looks much more warmer than colder. Great job Alfred.
