    Great shot!

  • Thank you very much Rick. Sometimes, photo treatment can enhance an otherwise “plain” photo.

    I love what you have done it makes the Jay stand out, what a great capture Francine your focusing is just great as is the DoF and lighting instant fave very well done.

  • Thank you so very much Paul. You are so kind. Post processing does have many advantages and working with directional lighting and with little contrast colours makes for interesting finished products. ;-) Thanks again,
