Bird of the Week classics

[Michael Bulriss]

Since written words don't carry inflection and tones, with our wonderfully imprecise English language ("lives" - is it 'he lives frugally' or 'cats have nine lives'?) posts can be read many ways. Lest anyone get the wrong impression on our recent 'shadows and highlights' posts, Ron was making a suggestion was on how to make the BOTW picture even better. Ron is the back up for BOTW and has the BIG buck Creative Suite version of Photoshop and takes classes on its use in his photography business. My response of 'go for it' was indeed just that, go ahead and make it pop. Although I have in the past enjoyed playing with my version of Photoshop 7 (see 'before' and 'after' in the BOTW Photo archive), as I said I have not really used the shadows or highlights functions and don't have time to learn to use them properly right now. I also suspect the highlights and shadows function is much easier to use in the Creative Suite version. So if Ron modifies the pic to make it better, we'll update the BOTW with the new version.
