Yesterday on a quick outing we got to see this pair of Pigeons in the Kenai Wildlife viewing area by the Public Boat launch. We keep checking to see when the big birds show up, and hope to get some Swan and Geese, and Sand Hill crane pictures this year. Not here yet but this pair were.

Top photo is the completely unedited as the camera took and processed the picture. The second photo is the NEF/RAW image edited with the Nikon Computer software, then cropped with Corel Paintshop, and resized, (I forgot) with Paint.net. Back and forth between the desktop and laptop.A couple of times.

So here is the first one:050 resized 1200 x 800.jpg
.
and after editing and cropping:050 two pigeons 2 resized 1200 x 800.jpg

I am pretty happy with the way the edit came out. I love the more vibrant colors and how the image highlights the grass and the pigeon colors. Especially that beautiful green neck.


All pictures taken and edited by me, and may be reused by @bashadow as that is me too.
