Same egret picture, tweaking a little less saturtion than previous one.
Also a little less sharpening, some other minor adjustments.

OK, to me, this one seems the best of all 5 images. Hopefully some comments from some poor souls that will take time to look at all five and commment here.

I think the color/saturation are fine, sharpen appears to be OK. I like this one the best of all 5 test photos with CS4 post processing techniques.

Your comments greatly appreciated and welcomed, especially harsh critizism of each or all shots, as well as this one.

Thanks,

CC
