    Default Balancing act!

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This one is from SW Florida IPT in February... Artie was feeding Pelicans when this GHB showed up and landed on a pole while I got this image! For processing, cropped, adjusted for saturation, selective colors and curves. Then applied PB oil on the bird on a separate layer and adjusted opacity. Used a layer mask to open up parts of bird and used Topaz adjust for the color blast on another layer and adjusted the opacity to get this final effect. Hope you like it...

    Indranil, I have almost the same shot! I love what you did with this one. Nice balancing act and pose! I wish for a tiny bit more room at the bottom. Well done!

    Indranil,

    Greetings. I like this one a lot. Has that toon look. Agree with little more on the bottom. The color is great.

    Cheers,

    The colors, wing position and composition all combined make this a pleasing image. TFS

    Nice one Indranil, I like the detail and colors. I think a tad more sharpening would be good for the image. I love the quality of the light, very nice.

    Wonderful image, Indranil...like Denise, I'd like to see a little bit more at the bottom and maybe just a little more of the image to the right as well...but I love the shot and the processing work you've done!

    Hey Indranil,
    Agree with the more room on bottom suggestion.....even for me! I do think the effects you applied are very appealing and have given the GBH a great look!

    Hi Indranil,
    Another vote here for some more room on the bottom. I really like the pose. I like how you applied just enough of each of the filters and ended up with a very nice effect. Love the details you left in and the colors as well.

    Thanks all for the feedback; I appreciate it. I agree on adding a bit on the bottom and will redo the image.
