Cranes Go Up and Down

Staten Island in Sacramento Delta

Sandhill Cranes taken on Staten Island in the Sacramento Delta, in California. If someone could fix the fringing I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks Bottles. Your work was fantastic. I have both Photoshop 6 and Elements 4 on my computer but need to learn how to use them. I realized after I posted that I had forgotten to resize the image. Tried to replace the image with a resized one, but had no success. I would love to use your version of the shot, but don't want to take credit for your work. So, will leave it alone.

Nice shot Ed! *I wasn't sure of exactly what was fringe and what wasn't, so I may have over done it with my try :-) I also darkened the background and lightened the birds hoping to make them stand out a little better. Finally (and especially since the guidelines ask that your image be no larger than 800 pixels on the longest side), I cropped the image top and bottom to put the birds in what I thought was a better position. Anyway, my try is in the Demo folder; as far as I'm concerned you're free to use it if you like it (not sure about the rules though).

Sandhill Cranes are awesome birds, Ed...nice that you captured a couple of them for this challenge. I like how they're bodies are positioned next to each other...one head up and the other head down. I like the old cornfield as background too. Nice shot, Ed.

I don't know how to fix fringing, Ed. Maybe someone else will help you out here.
