    Default Flying Flamingo

    As probably everyone noticed I like flamingos :-). Here is one image I especially like for it’s simplicity.
    Appart from darkening the BG by 10 clicks in Viveza and pulling out some underwing detail I used the suggested workflow of Desmond from this very interesting thread from the Eager to Learn forum about Oversaturation in sRGB, to tone down the RED. http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ad.php?t=65431
    If you have any input on this topic please join in. I think it will be moved to ER at one point.
    Cheers.

    Good Morning, Al,
    Thank you for your comment. I feel like going to Florida and hang out with you and Fabs and learn all your Photoshop tricks....since I can’t do that I ask you here how I can multiply the whites in the head area? Thanks for helping me again.

    I forgot to mention about the photo above. I darkened the pupil a little to have it more visible.

    Hi Lorant Simple .... go to select>color range .. a dialog box will come up Place the eye dropper on the white are the adjust the slider to how much you want to include, say ok

    ... then make a new layer (command J ) and look in the layers pallet for blending modes, default is normal use the drop down menu and select multiply. If its too much you can reduce the opacity.

    Will work for other colors and can be done more than once !! All you need is to have pixels there to work !! .. any questions pm !!

    Cool bird, I like the wing position, eye contact and soft light. Another vote for toning down the highlights on the head.
