Description

I don't have the settings on this one, but I did tweak the saturation just a bit and applied Orton.

Critiques? I have wanted to post this for awhile but never did until I tried (and liked) the results of the Orton on the photo. #562165

No flaws.........perfect framing and I like the over saturated look, it transforms it from a bunch of birds to something the eye cannot ignore. #3628771

Larissa M. November 25, 2006

Fabulous capture and PS work! #3629459

Ken Slade November 25, 2006

Great original composition. The sharpness is excellent. The rich colors only add to the beauty and (after all, this is a photo website). Orton did well. I like it very much. #3630039

Carol Teal November 25, 2006

Thank you Dennis; I appreciate you taking a look and for your nice comment.

Lue, Ronald and Ken, thank you so much for your kind comments. The Orton, while I used it very sparingly, seemed to almost make the birds appear 3D. The original does not have that same look so that is why I never posted it before. #3630160
