Soft focused on purpose. lots of fog and moisture in the air this morning, and it was resulting in soft shots.

Well, I'd like to give it a try with a photo of a snowy egret here in Florida. His feet and the yellow around his eyes stood out. It was a very dismal, windy day. The bird was just about blown off his resting place. My problem is getting the correct focus. Any good pointers learning how to focus on such a small point, or just practice, practice, practice? How could I have made the shot better? Thanks for your C&C.

Hi All. Meg, you asked about how to have the colour on one duck and not the rest ... the way I do it (I have PS 6) is by having colour for the background, then make a new layer with exactly the same picture ... make the new layer picture black & white. Then using the eraser tool (you might need to magnify the image a bit to do this) just run it over the one duck (which is now black & white) you are wanting to make colour and it should show the colour through from the background layer. I hope that makes sense. There are probably other ways of doing this but thats how I do it. Happy photoshopping,
Lynne

Thanks Kiwi!

I haven't seen you around before, so Welcome to the forum and to the assignment threads. It's great to have you!

Hi Meg & everyone else.
Thanks for the welcome. Yes, I am new. Just trying to figure out posting etc on these forums (probably help if I read the 'how to' instructions!).
Not sure who posted the photo of the Golden gate bridge with yellow car in this challenge - but that was brilliant!

The best way I have found to post pictures on here, is from a photobucket account.

Just found this in time. I'm visiting family in south florida and found a yellow car. If I remember right it is a 1940's Willey. didn't notice the guy walking into my shot till after we had left.
