I particularly like the proportion of the bird to the telephone pole, and the telephone pole and the bird in the context of the larger environment, encompassing the sky. There are many perspectives here. Btw, I love this shot.

I've tried Lightroom and like it, but would love to try this software. Too bad Mac software won’t work on a PC. I’ve tried Lightroom and like it, but would love to try this software.

My favorite feature (not really functional) is how the slider tracks seem to glow and pulsate when you mouse over them. Also, the devignette feature is just as handy and the black point tool.

I'm a Mac owner but use PCs at work and just mooch off their software. For now. the colors and the tone in this shot are outstanding.

I remember thinking the same thing as I stood on the ground looking up: that a little extra focal length would help pull it in and give it punch. But in retrospect, I think the wider perspective makes for a stronger composition. In your case, the story isn't just the bird. It's the bird within a geometric context. The wider angle lets the lines of the wires draw the eye through the frame until it discovers the bird. The alternative of a honking long lens would have netted you a picture of a bird. I doubt it would be as unique as this one. Great shot - and great thoughts on software. I'm on the fence about the tools I currently use to manage my workflow, so this helps immensely. Thanks!

Is that a robin? It looks like a robin from a michiganders pov, but i didn't know they hung with you all in Utah. and very nice shot! ~GoGo totally have no idea what your talking about, but am getting there.
