Hello, I'm playing with my Picasa program. I got it as a free download a long time ago.
I know, I know, I should be playing with my Photo Shop Elements but Picasa is easier and I'm wanting easy right now. Just playing around, goofing off really. I took this picture back at the end of March. Leaves were just starting to produce and green on my honeysuckle bush. The birds love my honeysuckle bush all year round..jpg)
I thought they needed some color so I gave it some blue (below).

See that mystery spot next to the top bird near the upper right? (above)blemishgone.jpg)
Now it's gone. First time I had accomplished that effect. Cool, huh!Then I decided to give it a graduated color. (below)

Then I decided to play with the black and white focal effect. (below)focal+bw.jpg)
Then I thought why not try a really bright color. (below)I noticed the birds seem to show up better with this color wash.

But what if it were starting to get dark outside? (below)

I hope you had as much fun viewing as I did altering these little feathered friends.Happy May Day!

Have a great weekend,
