messing with photos

I have been playing around with a photo and just thought I would post about it. This is a bird I snapped in Tucson while at the zoo. He was not in the zoo. He was a visitor like me, zooming and flying around the water feature.

Original Photo













Edit 1 - a softening of the picture, darkening the edges













Edit 2 - color focus around the subject; b&w for surround
