Harry, forget the e-mail address. Ship your ex to Ric. I understand blue barrels do nicely. :D




...and for those who don't know me - I am just kidding and picking on Harry. :ivar

WOW....the "de-cluttering" has a tremendous effect on emphasizing the sharpness of the green heron. Please do share your technique. Very nicely done.

Excellent PS Ric, but I'm closer to Ben's comment that the background isn't all that bad. Although both images are very well done, I'd probably blur the back just enough to bring the attention onto the bird and walk away. :thumb :thumb
