This shot has been sitting in my "Not Suitable for Posting" files for a few years, and I decided to work on it with Photoshop Add-on 'Topaz Simplify.' It's just as much fun doing things like this, as it is taking pictures, in my estimation.

Your editing on an already great photo, works nicely, Jimbob. I have Topaz Simplify, though I don't use it often. This photo encourages me to take a second look at the program. Fantastico.

Beautiful bird JB...very similar to our Nuthatch too!..

You did some canny work on this to pull out the colour and details!

I cannot imagine that without the editing this was Unsuitable for posting Jimbob. It is a nice capture of the bird holding on to the feeder.

This turned out beautifully although I can't believe it was unpostable before - the background looks it may have been a bit busy so I assume Topaz worked it's magic on that - this is truly excellent.

Messing around in the editing room can be quite enjoyable JimboB. You are quite good at it.
Glad you let the bird loose.

Want to peek through your "Not Suitable for Posting" files Jimbob,
and I'm pretty sure that I will find 'treasures' like this one!

Perfect editing too my friend.
