Making a Home

This is my second attempt of the day. I took a photo of a baby robin, unfortunately there is a glare in that photo that I can not seem to get rid of.
Robin has something in his mouth... I like all the green stuff framing the bird.
Have you tried to tweak colors in Picnik for this (Edit-->Colors, auto picker or just tweak saturation & temp)...? I feel that maybe the saturation is a tad too much, what do you think ?

This is not a robin, this is a Wren of some kind. I took a photo of a robin but did not post it because I could not get rid of a glare.
I have not tried to tweak anything in Picnik. It is something I suppose I should learn to do. In this particular photo, I used the Boost effect because I felt that the original was too muted. Perhaps that is what you don't like about this?

@mej2011 ok, the boost explains it. To me it feels a bit too much, on the green tones mostly. So, you are an ornithologist? :-)

@janmaki
Interesting. I like the green tones, but don't like the look of the wooden bird house. No, I don't know nearly enough about birds to be considered any sort of expert, some are more easy to identify than others that's all.

@mej2011 Hmm, have you tried to "paint" when boosting so you can select what areas are affected... maybe that could help with the bird house.

@janmaki
Nope, I didn't know you could do such a thing. I obviously have no patience to learn. lol.
June 10th, 2011  
@mej2011 ha, so I learn of birds and you learn of Picnik :-)

@janmaki

@mej2011 OMG there's some serious knowledge going back & forth here!

@janmaki Now you're just being a stick in the mud. lol.

This photo serves as an example of how must I have learned about birds since starting this project. This bird is clearly not a baby robin. And, this photo sucks, so I have no idea what kind of bird it really is. lol
