Dark blue - Thumbnail challenge

Here's Phoenix's bottom :) She had a bath first to make sure her feathers were all clean and shiny for the pic :)

Only one more day before there should be a whole rainbow in the thumbnails! Hope I can find a very cool purple thing tomorrow!

That's a great idea for the blue. Nice thinking. Nice detail. I like the shine it has. Well done!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

This is gorgeous! Did you do any post processing? It has an interesting "hard" feel to the feathers...kind of HDR-ish or something. I cannot wait to see your rainbow on your calendar view!

@pjonas You can see some pics of my feather girls (in totality) in my March 2012 album (and they pop up in most other months too!)
@espyetta A bit of processing - mostly playing with the blue balance to make the background a bit more blue (it was actually yellow/orange). It didn't work out quite as blue as I wanted in the thumbnail for the rainbow though...

[cglist]

Just beautiful!

[Terry]
