I need some help with this picture of this Black-headed Night Heron. I would like to take out the brighter horizon line out from the top of the pictures. Could you please do this for me? I couldn’t make it work. Thank you so much.
This was taken at Sherriff King Slough off 194th Ave SW. Amazing bird life there. Saw 44 species in an hour. Park at the Wendy’s and walk east back along the sidewalk. There is an under the road walkway from the south to the north side slough walkway.
thank you Karen for the info about the slough.
Removing the bluish area is quite easy. Select the area using the Polygonal Lasso Tool then click remove. You can go over the branches and Photoshop knows you aren’t including them. I have screen shots of the selection and final below.

Thank you!

A sunflower I painted on our back gate, with the real one growing in front.
You could call it a multi media art installation lol.
Hilarious! And amazing real sunflower too!
The kids are playing with a ball that she sort of wants. There’s an unattended box of donuts by the fence. And Georgie has to sit and watch baseball.

These next two shots were attempts to follow the advise of Mike Moats in his video Boring Flowers – look for the unusual rather than just documenting the flower. This is an extremely tight crop of an Ornamental Onion.. I got in really tight to capture the tiny details of the flower, but was mostly taken by the soft background that makes it appear that everything is exploding from the top left of the shot. ISO125, 120mm, f/4, 1/1000s.
Or rather the bottom left of the shot…
I’m not sure what this plant is, but was intent on capturing the ants crawling on it. Once I saw the ants appeared to be two eyes on a face, I quickly saw a humorous face smoking a cigarette with a grinch-like tuft of hair. ISO100, 120mm, f/4, 1/1000s.

Close up of a Begonia blossom. The stamens make me think of flames.

A tanoura (skirt in Arabic) dancer during the holy month of Ramadan on our Nile cruise in Egypt earlier this year. This a traditional Egyptian folk dance where the dancer removes layers of skirts while spinning nonstop, in this case for about 20 minutes. iPhone
