Hi Cindy,
Only a few ways to minimize shine -- using the blur tool will minimize it and sometimes the stamp works great. The more shine, the harder it is to make it look natural. But sometimes the shot is better than it's technical correctness and you gotta go with it. You made the right choice. Love, Arlene

Hi Arelene. The shooting conditions were difficult at best and I ended up with a really red faced shiny man. I struggled with the shine for a long time in PSE, and almost didn't enter this because the shine was still there. But I thought it was such an unusual pose I went ahead and posted it. Can anyone give me any tips on ways to take the shine off? Or am I just stuck with it? CindyD

wish the highlights weren't blown out-even so, I love how bizarre it looks. Cool composition- Arlene

A pair of interesting old birds... had to say that. ;) Both subjects are very interesting. The picture makes me want to know more about the subject. Ann

Great! Super nice juxtaposition of the two faces, man and bird, with one looking forward the other sideways. You can almost feel the texture of the
feathers. - R.J. (Imager)
