About the Image(s)
I took the picture of the Hummingbird with my Nikon Z50, 50-250 lens. It was in someone’s backyard on a metal watering can statue.
The before picture was very bland, with the bird and nest blending into the background.
First, I cropped it, then sharpened and denoised with Topaz Photo AI.
I used On1 Photo Raw software to experiment with swapping the background with different images that I had taken, and changing the finish on the watering can..
I also added contrast and vibrance to the bird.
I was hoping to showcase the unique opportunity of seeing a hummingbird landing on its nest.

Janet, welcome to the group! Your first image is a beautiful one. I like the softened background and the enhancement of the Hummer.   Posted: 12/15/2024 13:52:03
