Northern Cardinal
Mike was asking me about how I did my previous cardinal edit, so I thought I’d edit more more recent cardinal picture too. All I did was paint over the stuff I didn’t want in PhotoShop Element (the cheap version of PhotoShop). The blue in the sky in the original photo didn’t look quite right to me, so I used the eyedropper tool to select it and then went to a slightly darker shade in the same family of blue. I don’t plan to make a habit of enhancing the background in all of my photos and I think it would be considered cheating in a photo contest, but it is interesting to see what you can do.
