Lovely Robin gio67! With that design you must have your Christmas cards sorted out now

thats a thought birma, i couldnt get it any nearer the berries, it must have already had breakfast it certainly looks like it,

thanks

Just go back a shoot the berries again, you don't have enough for a full makeover:

a 2 minute fix and a bit crude. But it is always worth remembering what you can do with digital. Get a subject like this, if it moves, quickly shoot surrounding details at the same setting so you have raw materials for retouching.

That was a clever trick David, but where did you find the extra berries from? and complete untruncated ones at that.

Indeed beautiful Gio67,

Very pretty Robin and a cool waterfall... I also like the sparrow that is eyeing you.

thanks folks, i did think of that idea david (not the shoot the surrounding area bit ) but don,t really get involved in elements other than saturation and crop, i must take time and learn a bit more, great idea about the surrounding area, so simple that it could justfy the old adage "why did i not think of that"
