John, Very nice shots. Great pastel background on the first two.


Here are a couple I grabbed yesterday. On the sparrow, I tried my hand at a little photoshop working on subject isolation (something like joel's recipe)---But I definately need some more practice. I think I over cooked the gaussian blur and I could notfigure out how to remove the halo from around the birds head and chest.

Hmmm, The shot above is quite a bit darker when uploaded and allow tdp to convert the size. Normally I resize when I export from Lightroom, but this time I just let TDP resize---But not a bad effect, just unexpected.
