    Default back to basics

    A simple image enhanced with Topaz Clean and InFocus. I love how these two plug-ins can make detail where it is needed and completely blur out the bg. Big fun!

    I believe this is a Short-billed Dowitcher. Please correct me if I'm wrong. :cool:

    Hi Kerry, Nice pose and low angle here. Very nice details... i like the effect of the filter with the oof bg and colors. I would concur - it is short-billed dowitcher from the dark barred flanks but paler than the long-billed ones. TFS.

    One of my favorites of yours. I love the soft BG color and the preening bird-nicely done.

    That is wonderful. Clean & clear, great detail. The enhancement is just the right amount.

    I love the clean but sharp look of the bird and the blurred background. Just perfect!

    Awesome shot to begin with and your light touch of OOTB editing takes this one over the top!

    Hey Kerry,
    You and Denise are making me want to explore these filters with your results!!!...I'm an in camera guy.....but you are making me believe that great things are possible with great base images and then applying the filters too!

    Roman, it's all true... The challenge is to learn both in-camera and pp techniques, but as you know it all starts with the camera. :cool:
