Ah Flickr. I started out with a far smaller Great Blue Heron when I originally posted this photo… but the beauty of the Flickr Gallery is that there are critiques galore to help you refine your technique. Here I was able to tighten up considerably by layering the bird, using LucisArt Exposure to bring out the under-wing detail without too terribly generating digital artifacts, add the vignette… and here you have it.

By creating a layer for the house alone, I could call up another great processing tool: LucisArt (www.lucisart.com). This plug-in for Photoshop has a couple of effects — I use Exposure, Sculpture, Whyetha and Winslow — and each has setting buttons and sliders that I just had to experiment with to understand. It allowed me to bring much more light and life to the house, while I dealt with issues in the surrounding areas separately.
The house is starting to emerge from the shadows.
