Beautifully composed and framed. Nice light. Great job.Douglas Gould September 23, 2003
Thanks so much, Judith! Coming from you, that means a lot. I checked out your gallery and am very impressed! Congrats on all the winners! I see you're very proficient with photoshop also. Let me ask you, in your image "African Crane with Callo Leaf", what selection tool did you use to so perfectly isolate his crown. That was perfect, no signs of PS work. I mostly use the polygonal lasso tool with a light feathering, but it can be real time consuming with an image like yours. I've tried the background eraser tool, but don't seem to be too proficient with it. Anyway, thanks again for your kind comments! #209366Judith G. Secco September 23, 2003
Hi Douglas, Glad you enjoyed my gallery. For the African Crane I used the magic wand as my selection tool. I find that to be my favorite. You can change the tolerance on it so it sometimes really works well. This was a tough one to do but it had a fairly solid background to start with so it came out okay. Also wanted to mention that my maiden name was "Gould".Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
