20150818 170 SERIES - Osprey.jpg

Ottawa West

Four consecutive images of a young Osprey, having recently fledged, now doing a balancing act after landing, to perch on top of a hydro pole located near the nest. (Best viewed in original size.)

Top image: Just landed (Image # 170).


Images # 171 & 172. The right hand images are my initially processed images with only minor cropping, sharpening etc. The left images are my final ones with the galvanized beam taken out and more sky added to the top. For the top one (#171), I just cloned in the sky above the Osprey and for the bottom one (#172) I used the "eye-dropper tool" to pick the sky colour, then simply filled in the colour with the "paint bucket tool"


Settling in. (Image # 173)
