Thank you for your comment Peter. I captured this spoonbill shot with a tinge of sunset in a backwater that it often frequents, not far from my home.

This is a severe crop so not very crisp but with a little pp and a smidge of eraser tool etc. I hoped it might fit the topic?

Appreciate the comments, regards Bob.

Trav you never cease to amaze me with your depth of knowledge, thanks for the interesting link. This is my very first play with CS5, at last I can run the software and not make a cuo of tea between key presses... lol

Thanks for the comments, I must get cracking and contribute for a change.

Regards Bob

Wow, back again with Art nonetheless! This could easily come out of a John James Audubon 1785-1851 book. Striking.
