Nice shot. Great detail in the feathers. I have been swrmed by birds this morning, guess I should be out shooting? Good job.

Ive never done this, but you should maybe try dodging the eye after adjusting the contrast.

Rand,

How about this?



Selected the bird, inverted, blurred/desatted/levels in the BG

Reloaded the selection, did a little hue/saturation on the bird, and a little levels for more pop.

Selected the eyes by hand, feathered the selection, adjusted levels to pop them a little.

Thanx. Was a quickie job; the selection could be more precise, and would be if it were my own shot and in a higher resolution. Nice shot btw.

Very nice shot Randy. That's a Black-capped chickadee, as I learned when Judith Polakoof ID'ed this one for me


You certainly got a close-up. What lens were you using?
