Hello Steemians,
Todays project focuses on a bird from our Blue Heron Studios Public Domain - Bird Collection. Having a wide variety of birds from around the world the archive never ceases to amaze me.
Still, what always catches my eye no matter how many times I revisit the archive is an image of an extraordinarily colorful bird, with foliage resembling that of the palette board of an artist. Beyond it's naturally vivid hues what I love is the boldness and intensity of this avian ally.
Be sure to click on the image to view full screen!
For this piece I changed the color and saturation of the background sky, then isolated the focal object on a duplicated layer.
This new layer of the isolated bird was used to bring out it's vivacity by making the piece be less dull. As a final touch the light values and contrast was increased a light bit to supplement this Color Enhancement process.

True Beauty in Nature! Gorgeous, colorful bird. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. No problem. I'm just glad you can appreciate it's beauty.
Looks amazing!
Thanks for the comment, but it's not appropriate to vote up your own comment on others pages. Also, you didn't upvote the post, but just upvoted yourself.
This will get you flagged and lower your reputation and earnings if you continue.
Awesome bird, and great capture. We resteemed it!
Wow! I really appreciate the love. Thanks.
I thought the Kingfisher is the most beautiful bird, but this one is at least equal. Nice color and shot!
Thanks. I really appreciate that. I totally agree.
That's a wonderful pic.

Oh I thought a new comment is earlier recognized if I vote it up. Thanks for your explanation ;-) Still learning the netiquette of steemit.
It's cool just have to be aware. I've seen whales and others flag and bash people for doing so. A flag on a post from a whale with $100 in Steem Voting Power can instantly remove all your post earnings and in turn it would lower rep.
Personally I only make exception for some curation/community blogs since they need the money for are actively trying to improve the community.
On the opposite side. The comment at the top by leftbank is horrible and disrespectful. While it's a good comment the commenter didn't upvote my blog and just upvote his self. Basically just giving himself money, STEALING curation rewards from Author and Curators, and is blatantly disrespectful.
To be honest if the person doesn't upvote the post and correct themselves I'm reporting the account as spam.
Glad you enjoy the post still. Means alot.
wow! He really is been showered by a rainbow! ;-)
Totally. Thanks
Awww so cute :) Natural beauty!
Nature is extraordinary.

I do not upvote or reward people for doing such. Upvoting your own comment does not help the community is frowned upon. I'll upvote you after you remove the self vote.
Please don't upvote yourself on my blog again. Thanks.
My apologies - being new to the game I did not realise
No problem. We have a good growing community here and we each have to inform each other. Safe Steem journey and I really am most appreciative of your comment @philpotg. :)
