Description
Thank you for stopping for a closer look. Any and all comments are welcome and appreciated.
This simple looking project actually incorporates several lessons all put together into one image. These postwork skills I am learning will be good to know once learned fully. It is seldom you would use this many different techniques on the same picture. At present I am seeking out specific things to photograph simply for the sake of trying certain postwork tools on them. I know that is the opposite of real life. These tools exist to help improve the images you shoot, not to shoot images simply to use the tools.
That would be like when I did woodworking if I were to purposely buy lumber too thick for the project just so I could use my new wood planer to shave it down. (I admit I did that too when it was still new)
Have a great Friday!
Jim

I think you are doing great!
lovely!
I know the point is for you to try out postwork tools, and that's great - there are so many powerful tools available to us all these days but too few people take the time to learn them and then use them in an appropriate way. My advice though would be when you shoot specifically for that, try and either shoot with a deliberately fixable problem in mind so you can learn to repair it or so that the final composite will look great. It's more rewarding and I think that helps you learn. In this case, the shallow depth of field/choice of focus point throws the bird totally out of focus and there's nothing you can do in post to save that, so you'll never get a great image from it no matter what you try. I only point it out in case the end results end up dissuading you from learning. As for the post techniques though, looks like you're picking it up really well.
