Excellent job in PS Hank ! I prefer the blue version as this bird is a winter visitor ;) Keep shooting ;)

Fantastic images. V.

The bird itself is beautifully detailed and lit. The third background is slightly more obtrusive than the first two, but still a super image. V for all three.

terrific work Hank ! I love 2 and 3 the most...
Lennart Waara30-Jan-2011 18:28
Very fine pictures and interesting lesson! I love the green background best! Feels like it could have been taken that way in original master!

Creative processing Hank, the blue makes the bird standout well.....

Beautiful capture Hank. The blue background is nice but I think the natural one is better. V
Guest 30-Jan-2011 12:39
Super series and great detail. The blue is a super backdrop on the first of the series.
Dan Greenberg30-Jan-2011 10:35
All 3 are very attractive, Hank. Of course what really makes it work is the fact that the bird is so well captured. V.

I like the bottom one .... it is very natural. But all are great. Well done.

Extremely nice! All that work in photoshop really makes that 1st pic pop!
Ted Busby30-Jan-2011 03:20
Nice work Hank...I like the bluish BG as it accentuates the bird nicely!

It is really interesting to see what can be done to alter an image slightly. I certainly like the blue sky best. It is a perfect backdrop of the eyecatching colours of this beauty. Very nicely photographed, tack sharp details.
Janet Forjan-Freedman30-Jan-2011 02:00
Very nice work Hank. I prefer the blue sky as a backdrop really makes the plumage colours pop!
Michel Jasmin30-Jan-2011 01:27
Separately these would be tree great shots. Together I prefer the 3rd one the original.
Great work my friend
Jean D30-Jan-2011 01:19
Excellent capture and modifications, Hank! The second one is super..
an nguyen30-Jan-2011 00:49
So sweet series , but I love number two .
Claude Gagnon30-Jan-2011 00:46
Very nice examples of what can be done...I prefer the first one with the "blue sky" like color! Great portrait!
Lise De Serres30-Jan-2011 00:33
Beautiful colours and great details in the plumage... preference for the 3rd one... more natural!!
Patricia Kay30-Jan-2011 00:33
