Good on you Brenda, sorry I did not mean to make such a stir. I am going to be in trouble working out what to put on next after this. |

Good on you Jacob, good to see the flowers brightening our day, and you have done that. Rather than crop the pic I would probably highlighted the flowers by darkening the outer sections by using the vignetting feature in lightroom. |

Good one Perrie, reflections sure make it. Colours nice and rich. I may have cropped the reeds and a little of the foreground out but that is only a personal view and always get criticised for cropping too much. |

Dean you caught that just at the right time. Great shot. Good to see you keeping safe by not going out. We have been doing the same and most of our state has been doing the same. We have just gone through 11 days without anyone catching the virus in south Aust, with luck we will have some of our restrictions lifted soon. |

Thanks for your enthusiastic response Brenda.
1. I am sure Candy could give you a better way to carry out the separation. If so please advise me Candy. In Photoshop I used the paint brush tool. I made it very small and outlined the gannets in white. Next increased the size of the paint brush and removed all of the background.
2. In Lightroom in Effects move the Vignetting tool to the right to soften around the birds.
3. Use the Graduated Filter to soften the left side of the bird, then repeat on the right.
When I saw the Sony winning world photograph below taken my Jose Luis Ruiz Jimenez of Spain I was inspired to modify one of six similar gannet pics I had. (1) I have to thank Louise my wife for picking out my best pics. She has a far better eye than me, (2) Ewen down at Portland for giving me the key to the rookery so that I can sit only a few feet from these birds for several days at a time. I give him the pics to advertise the rookery at the Portland Information centre. If you can imagine siting on an aircraft runway while a 747 is landing, you get a little of what it is like as these giant gannets come in to land, passing within inches of my head. I may be exaggerating a little.
Hope that this is what you wanted Brenda look forward to seeing what you make of your African pics, looks like Mervyn had a good time . Below is the pic that inspired me. |

The patterns coming from the sun sure enhance a great pic, I may have lightened the foreground a little to bring the tree out a little, well done. |

I do like the water effect, you have enhanced the lighting in the leaves to the top of the pic beautifully. Great processing. |

A great shot Isaac, and one not easy to get. Trust the osprey did actually get the fish. |
