I like what he did! I don't recognize the name, but he must be a member of this group! Wish he'd come out of the shadows more often. "Used the levels command in PS 8 to make the snow whiter, also made the black "blacker", blurred the background a little more, increased the saturation level of the yellow to make it "snap", and finally used the measure tool to straighten out the photo. Oh, yes, also sharpened the bird a tad. Thanks for letting me use your photo to practice my retouching skills and again, I hope you won't be angry at my attempt to make a "great" photo "greater".
