Anna's Hummingbird Manipulated

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks:

Only had one Hummingbird today, and he would not back off from the feeder for a clean shot. So Photoshop to the rescue?

Comments & redos always welcome and appreciated

Well done, Gus! I especially like your removal of the feeder.

Now I'm wondering if you can add a second bird :p

[Bill Dix]

Great fun, Gus. Nicely captured and rescued. I might have gone for an orchid.:) Keep these hummers coming.

Hi Guys;

Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated. Ian, yes, I could add more birds.

Best regards

Gus

I think those old peepers of yours are doing a pretty bang up job, Gus! I do think the image feels a little bit dark overall...do you think so too or is it just me? Seems like your others had more detail in the dark tones and the BG wasn't quite so heavy.
