CommentThis is another photo from a series that I took earlier this year out near the Warrumbungles National Park. I like this particular image as the sharply focused bird, set against a softly blurred landscape, creates a picturesque image.

Hand held from the car. Raw file rendered in DPP4 and a tiff transferred to Photoshop 2026. Image noise reduced using Topaz DeNoise AI .I used the Remove tool to clone out the tip of a fence post just below the bird. A selection of the bird was made and the shadows adjusted.I also added some texture to the background to give it a painterly effect.The image was downsized,sharpened and saves as jpg.
