Weekly Before & After: Mockingbird

[Paul Lagasi]

I needed a good photo without distracting background, this is the only one I had...Mockingbirds not very common up here....thanks for looking

[Hazel Grant]

That took a lot of careful work! Nice.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Hi, Paul. How did you accomplish it? Whatever you did, you did it well

[Dan Brown]

Nice work, Paul! It's not easy to apply that much blur and still maintain a sense of reality!

Paul, Great job with the background. I might increase the contrast a little in the finished image. Nice pose, perch and sharpness.

[Brendan Dozier]

Nice work, Paul, and what an improvement! Great looking Mocking bird and perch adds to comp. Agree about a little more contrast to give it just a bit more pop.

[John Storjohann]

Hi Paul; you did an incredible job of masking the mockingbird and its perch during the processing...and I agree with the comment about the final image needing a bit more contrast. Nicely done.

[Mark Fuge]

Nice image and application, Paul.

I won't mention that I might have added a little contrast to the after, if it were mine, but ... Y.I.Y.V.
