One last blur!... This was a backlit image shot at 1/25 sec. Converted to BW, cleaned up the bg a bit. Does this work?

my fav of your series....nicely conceived and presented....could even go more high key and be
just as enjoyable to view

[Indranil Sircar]

Thanks Dave. Here is a repost...

Indranil, I agree this is the best of the series!! It looks like it might need a slight rotation and I would say somewhere in-between the two posts!! Great job this week!!!!

[Indranil Sircar]

Thanks Denise. Here is a second respost...

Indranil, Nice re-post I am seeing some artifacts at the bottom of the frame-under the first bird, and in the llc

[Indranil Sircar]

Thanks. Missed that completely!!! updated #5

Indranil, Zoom in 100% and look under the first birds thigh-

[Indranil Sircar]

Yes. found it... thanks Denise.

[denise ippolito]

Nice clean-up!!

[Dave Phillips]

nice job.....we sure are having fun with your image Indranil.
Here's the kind of high key I was referring to......move a levels slider to left
and then bring up shadows a bit. We don't want any full hot white.
Added minor texture to bring it together.
Again, this is just another option....thanks for being a sport and accepting our options.

This is a really nice nice image

Dave, The texture looks good so do the adjustments!

Indranil, what started out as a really nice image keeps getting better and better! I think this is my favorite
of your blurs this week.:D

HI Indy
Great image to work with. I particularly like the water droplets underneath the bird on the right. Lots of good suggestions from the gang. :) Thanks for sharing.

[Indranil Sircar]

Dave, what an amazing treatment! Love the effect. Thanks for showing the way to do this.

I really was intrigued by the first image......and have enjoyed following its evolution with each post. This is one of the most interesting posts here that I've seen. Well done.....to all!!
