Bluebird Revisited (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)

I revisited here one of my images from a few years ago, in which I processed the cropped TIFF file with AuroraHDR and the filtered it with the Graphic Novel filter from Photoshop Elements. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Flicker on the Tree (A Little Less Creepy)(Graphic Novel filter)

Today's Flicker image looks a little less creepy than yesterday's Flicker image. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Creeper Flicker on a Tree (Graphic Novel filter)

I'm not sure if it's the open beak, the stuff inside its beak, or the general overall darkness of the image, but I thought that this Flicker on the tree looked a little bit creepy. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Chipping Sparrow (Graphic Novel filter)

This is an updated version of a chipping sparrow image that I edited a long time ago, this time using the AuroraHDR program and the Graphic Novel filter from Photoshop Elements. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Scarlet Tanager on the Jelly Bowl (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)

Of my three edits on the Scarlet Tanager on the Jelly Bowl below, I like the black and white Graphic Novel filter (4 images layered together) best, mostly, I think, because it removes the unsightly bowl of jelly that I had set out for the birds. (The first image is the AuroraHDR, the second is the BW Graphic Novel filter, and the third is the colorized graphic novel filter.) Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Goldfinch in Tree Branches with Leaves (Graphic Novel filter)

This is an image redo post, in that the last time that I had posted this image, I had processed it with a dry brush filter. This time, I used the Graphic Novel filter (twice), and then I colorized the image. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Goldfinch in the Leafy Tree (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)

The Graphic Novel image was one that I processed twice, in order to give the image an even more graphic novel-liness, because the first time wasn't graphic novel-ly enough. (It lacked something.) It's also, then, one of those images where it's really hard to find the goldfinch that is in the image, until you look at the colorized version, where it is fairly obvious. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Here is another photo edited from the Scarlet Tanager's visit a few days ago to the jelly bowl on my deck. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Blue Jay Looking in the Grass (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)

I desperately wanted to title this one, "In the Looking Grass," but it just wouldn't have been humorous to anyone except for me. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Blue Jay in the Grass (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)


This Blue Jay was picking through the grass, and I think it found something to eat. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Scarlet Tanager in the Jelly (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)


I don't see Scarlet Tanagers quite so often. It seems like they only show up during a brief window at a certain time of the year. (Or, they're really good at hiding, which I imagine would be hard to do when your body is red.) Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Chipping Sparrow in the Pine Tree (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)



The chipping sparrow in the pine tree branches was a tough one to process for HDR, because the blue/purple fringe tends to get pulled out in the HDR processing. I went with a "dreamy" filter in the AuroraHDR to lessen the effect. It's not seen at all in the BW Graphic Novel filter version on top (for obvious reasons,) and is minimized in the colorized version of that photo. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Oriole in the Rain (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)

Here's another pose from that oriole that was on my deck the other day, picking at the jelly bowl in the rain. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Orioles are Back in Town (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)

The orioles are back in town, and here is one that came to visit the little jelly bowl in the rain. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)
