Hello all,

This shot has been post processed in photoshop. If you look back to how I altered the Goldfinch and Greenfinch in flight, it is the same principle as this. I copied and pasted the bird into a new layer before adding a blur to the background. I then cloned out where the feeders had been and added the blur again. I pasted the Sparrow back onto the background layer and cropped to how I liked it. Finally a bit of sharpening and here we are!!

I hope that you like it and all comments and critiscms are welcome.

Matt

Excellent work Matt....I really like what you have done in photoshop here...Most of all though you had a sharp inflight to start with.

this is an excellent shot and shows that you have a vision for pictures and are learning really well re the post processing but dont overdo it as it can look false.

This is an excellent picture well done

Great post-processing, but for me, the most amazing thing about this image is the timing - brilliantly captured! Smile

All the manipulation in the world won't turn a bad shot into a good one, so it's great to see how you have enhanced an already excellent image! Smile

(Hope that makes sense, Matt) Wink

Wow - another incredible shot - and reading your description you are obviously very good at the post process stuff, unlike me...lol. You have a fantastic photostream.
