Cormorant

How I did it

I opened the jpg in RAW, adjusted the exposure down 2.7 stops, Clarity +78 & vibrance +45 up and a little fill +9. Then I went into CS4 & opened a levels adjustment layer and made levels adjustments on both ends and the gamma. They I selected the bird’s eye. Pumped up the eye’s saturation with an adjustment layer and then created a new layer to clone out the yellow reed. Saved it as a jpg and reduced the image to 800px x 600px.
