This is a photo that I took back in 2007 not too long after I first got my own camera. This male yellowthroat had chosen our blackberry patch for his territory, so almost every morning for awhile I was able to follow him with my camera as he sang on the bushes.
On this photo, I cloned out a number of twigs and gave the BG a pass of noise reduction. I also did a slight curves adjustment and sharpened the bird's head a bit. The reflections were added using the tutorial here: http://www.planetphotoshop.com/photo...on-effect.html.
Christopher,
Great clean up job and I enjoyed seeing your presentation - very OOTB. I've been playing with the reflection link. It's lots of fun! Thanks for sharing.
