    Those early morning photos with the morning light are the best that's for sure. You have the color down so well thumb.gif

    As for the cutting -- I'm in the "I'm gonna get it if it drives me insane" mode :D I'll let you know in a day or two if I don't get it....Thanks Azzaro thumb.gif

    :D I don't know my birds either but that particular one I did some
    info seeking on cause I came across some in Idaho and Oregon in
    the high desert areas. Managed a photo or two for as close at they
    would let me get. About a 100 yards or so. 200mm wasn't enough
    strength. Had to do cropping to even get a maybe pic.

    Thanks for the nice comment, Jack.

    The picture started out as a pic. of flood irrigation with pretty neat light on it. I cropped it to get it down to just water. Then messed around with the color to get a little drama so it wasnt so flat looking. The center of interest was just the lighting and color. There it set on my computer for a week or two.

    I was wandering around about the same time of day the water was shot and ran into a flock of birds. I chased them around for about 20 minutes and had a bunch of pictures of birds running from me.

    So I processed a pic. of the birds, cropped it so the the birds were bigger than and ant and stuck it in Fluid Mask and cut out 5 of um. Put the whole thing in Elements and cloned the birds into the water pic.

    The picture was made in Elements, Fluid Mask, Nikon Capture and DXO...rolleyes1.gifI said photoshop just to abbreviate the whole thing..... :D azzaro

    Hi Azzaro,

    I've been holding off on commenting about this picture, as I assumed it was some sort of merger deal and I wanted a little more info before speaking out. Then I read where it had been through Elements, Fluid Mask, Nikon Capture and DXO. It finally dawned on me that I'm just going to have to quit this sport.

    Comps have their place good buddy.:D There is no quiting... its in your blood.
    Must confess that I have a real nit with composit results in photography
    competitions. If it is not a stand alone shot it ain't right. We all work so hard to get the stand on its own shot only to have someone blow us away with a comp that looks awesome and is. But its a comp... not the real deal.
    :bash
    One wants to play in photoshop + drive on. Its way cool. I personally love it. When it comes to competition I have to draw the line. If theres a category for it fine.

    :D My silly assed 2 cents...

    Hey Azzaro ( and Michael ),

    I was being a tad facetious when I spoke of quiting the sport. Once in your blood....particularly after 40 + years....you don't leave. I was trying to make a little humor out of the situation. Here you had a nice picture ( Azzaro's ) that had been through 4 different programs to get where it was. Here's me, an old dog who can barely turn on the computer. I better haul fanny while the gettings good.

    The reality of it is that we are all blessed with the world of digital photography. Even the most optimistic of us could not have seen the doors that were, and will be, opened for our benefit. I wouldn't have it any other way.
