Not sure what you are refering to as "dust". The birds were on a sandy beach (see original). As you can see I did not crop much (800mm lens!). I did spend a lot of time with exposure and sharpening. In the original I felt it was hard to define the wings (amd the chick) from the sand and so I left the sand below in focus to give the bird a little distance above the ground. Goes to show you that the chicks are colored to blend in with the sand. I have seen several plucked from their nest by Gulls. |

Great photograph of a beautiful bird. Shows you do not have to go to Costa Rica for bright plumage! I know they are hard to photograph as they never sit still. I assume it is on the edge of a bird bath and I lowered the exposure to make it less obvoius. I also lowered the background exposure a slight amount in a few places. |

Very nice Great Blue photograph. I thought lowering the exposure of the head, branch and edges of the photo slightly might bring more attention to the subject. I also darkened the bright spot on its left leg. |

Great catch, a great reward for what I assume was a lot of time and effort to get. I first i missed the chick and wondered if cropping and then increasing the exposure of the chick a little would help give more attention to the little one. |

Great photograph! Subject in focus, diagonal line of the wing bringing attention the bird's facial expression. Background and forground well exposed and blurred and lastley tells a great story. |

Christ, this is a very interesting photograph showing a unusual posture. I did have a little trouble figuring out what was what do to a lot of background distractions and its large belly domanating the picture. I cropped quite a bit, blurred and darkened the background and lightened the area around its left eye. My idea was to bring attention to the owl's "look". |

Butch, I have been cold too many times to make the trip you did for this photo! I think I will try Texas. I realy like the two birds in flight and thought cropping just a little brings more attention to them. I also sharpened a little in Topez |
