Hi Graham

Your illustration would do very well in a Worcestershire Camera Club competition. There are various categories of photograph which they recognise and provide specialist groups for, including creative, digital, and contemporary. I hope the forum can embrace the wider range?

Each to his own then?

My aim in attempting NIK editing is to broaden my scope and options a bit.

I tried something different today - here it is. This is a water rail, a secretive bird giving only brief glimpses generally speaking. I had about a second or two with this rail in view and it was gone. Maybe a little over sharpened?

Many thanks to Jocko and Ed for helpful comments - would welcome info from Jocko on which parts of NIK he uses most and how.

Regards all

Hi Jeff,

An absolutely wonderful capture, from an obviously talented photographer. There are so many talented 'clickers' on here, it's a difficult task to chose one over another.

I really must consider this NIK software. Only as has been said, 'another learning curve to negotiate'.

Best regards.

Phil.
