Click - your shots are amazing. Thanks for posting and inspiring me to improve!

Today I tried using Photoshop's Shake Reduction filter in a Smart Object as a Soft Light Overlay...anyone else use a method similar to this for sharpening?

Hi clbayley.
Very nice photo, nice light, framing and all that, but I'm not sure about the subject, not a bird I've ever thought of as anything other than a wonder of nature, (as in I wonder why) or a setup line in a joke from Blackadder, Sometimes I feel like a pelican - whichever way I turn I still have an enormous bill in front of me.

Cheers, Graham.

Just south of me at Miquelon lake, Alberta, this last weekend. A very large pot hole that attracts lots of birds but with no river feed it's slowly drying up - they say in a few decades it'll be gone, sadly.
