Which do you like more?

I'm just playing around with photoshop with a picture I took...

Or

The first is the unedited version, and I tried to make the second one look softer...but I think I over did it XD Need to work on that

i like the second one... very nice picture!!!! :eek:

I'm no help!!! They are both wonderful. You took that pic? It is wonderful!

I have a really old monitor and I have recently found out that it doesn't have the best picture, so that may make it hard for me to tell....lol. Sorry I'm no help to ya!

Great Work!.....Robin :)

They both are great, but I think I like the first one better. The second almost looks a little blurry to me.

I don't see a difference:o LOL, I'm a real messed up child:rolleyes:

first one.

I like the 2nd better because it is lighter on my desktop screen . I'll have to look at them on the laptop to see if there is any difference there. I tried calabrating the desktop with not much luck. They seem to be shot with the same settings on each according to the EXIF data. Did you just change the lighting in PS ? If your focus point was on the white you might try bumping up the ISO a bit as the Rebel has a hard time focusing on solid white, and any solid colros with out much definations. Where is that bird ? She is beautiful.

I honestly can't see the differene either :confused:

I don't see a difference either.

The pictures are great though. Looks Very Professional.

Silly me. I'm tring to view them on my laptop and I can't figure out why I can't get PT. Then I remembered I unhooked the router and went direct to the desktop to try and trouble shoot a problem. So I'll look again at them later. But... it looks like my router is the whole problem I have been having. Back to Costco it goes, it's only 3 weeks old. The last one lasted 2 1/2 years.

They look the same to me. ;)

Its a tough call...it would depend on my mood. Right now I like the second one a little more because it is a little lighter and you can see a little more detail in the bird itself. I do like the first one equally as well though

I like the second one, but they both look great! :D Did you use one of the the blur effects on the second one?

I like the 2nd picture better. The background is muted ,but
all the details & features of the bird are clearer in this one.

Thanks.

They aren't MUCH different, but they are. I blurred the second on a little, then used white paint brush to make it stand out a little. I also went around the outside of the bird with white so it looks softer :)

Hmm... both are great, but if I had to choose I'd say the 2nd one.

I am just in awe of your skill with the camera, a lot better than my happy snaps. :D

Wow, thanks!

I dont know, maybe I like 1st one better ;) but both of them are really good :D

I am staring and staring, and not sure I see a real noticible difference. That is an awesome shot.

There really isn't a noticable differance to my tired ole eyes.. They both are great pictures and I must say, you take GREAT pictures to capture that one as good as you did..

I can see the difference...not a HUGE one, but the bird is whiter/softer in the 2nd one. I'm not sure which one I like better though. Its not different enough to decide. :p Gorgeous shot!!!
