I did reply to your mail, and asked that you market the photo, sell it, make a ton of money, and then send me the money. I'm good with that. FWIW, I rarely modify any shoot in submissions and prefer to let the pics stand as I took them. The disruptive background elements and un-Siskerized sky were in the original, so I left them in. I did a little contrast/saturation/sharpening on the original JPG, however, but not much. I've found that thirsty pigeons don't need a lot of attention.

I could go either way with the sky, but notice that the "make dull skies blue" tool applies a gradient to make it blend better, unlike John's attempts. I can also possibly see leaving the white bouys in, but the boat people have to go. If anyone wants to buy this, send me money, and I'll pass it on to Bowser. - Otter |
