    Thanks, Dick!

    Thanks so much!

    I didn't know if it was too saturated. I have a tendency to saturate down to nothing.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Is the saturation OK, or is it too much?

    I didn't do that much, what I did I reversed.

    I did LAB steep things, but only very little........

    I am confused now that I am doing birds again.

    I do not say to much about the photos because of my monitor and aol the color sometimes is not right ,but the V does have too much saturation and the exposer needs a little help --capture very good thumb.gif Harry can tell you better than I G

    More shadow detail.........curves.

    Less saturation on the orange and green.

    Local contrast enhancement.

    Not bad Ginger. I still don't have any good ones of these yet.
    I would have titled it differently though.

    Something like

    "Whada ya think of your Easter Bunny Now!"

    I am still not sure what kind of animal it is/was. That is one reason I did not pick up on the orange color, my Corgis are about that color.

    I thought maybe it was a fox. Or a dog from the road..........but someone would have had to move it there.

    It had a head like a dogs head. I did not pick one of the more recognizeable ones to work up. I would have had to call it "Gross/Yucky".

    It is a part of life, and actually, this photo has made me appreciate Turkey Vultures more. I am not sure why.

    Thanks, Ben,
    et al,

    I am still working on the color. Sometimes I think I am colorblind!

    Good capture Ms. G but I don't know about the color and saturation here. I haven't seen any vutures with that kind of color on their heads before.
