I’ve been post processing a group of photos from Costa Rica to post here at GBPs. A few days ago I saw the e-mail describing the process JamesD used to remove branches from his Northern Cardinal photo, which got me to thinking.
This owl was perched in a tree in the courtyard at the Hotel Bougainvillea in San Jose. It didn’t move to a more visible perch while I was watching, and I could not achieve any better vantage. So at the time I settled for this photo.
Then I read about JamesD’s process and thought about the tools I have available. See the next post to see the branch removed…
