Description

This was taken at the Arboretum at Flagstaff back on April, 1 2007. There were a lot of people there, so I could not avoid getting them in my shot. I edited the background on this one using gaussian blur so that the people would not distract the attention away from this beautiful bird. Other than that all I did was adjust contrast and bumped the saturation up a tad.

Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: -33/100, Exposure Time: 10/1000, Flash: flash fired, ISO: 200, White Balance: auto white balance, Focal Length: 51mm, Camera Model: DMC-FZ30

I really like what you did with this photo. I agree that you wouldn't want to distract from the bird. It is a beautiful shot. #6229487
