I took these photos and I photoshopped them (to the best of my limited knowledge) and would appreciate comments on how to do a better job, especially on the swan's head.. it looks blown out in one spot... I would also be grateful for any reviews of the new photos I put in my portfolio thank you&
Grin.. ok, I don't know my birds lol. and many thanks to you who have pointred that out :) also, thank you for taking the time to leave comments at my portfolio too.....I take all suggestions seriously and practise making the changes suggested.

Honesty - and I learned this the hard way by posting a goose shot at PhotoBlink and getting killed! those guys know their birds. So - these are over exposed. For shots like these you have to do whatever you can to get the detail in the white areas. The nexk of the first one is blown and the back end of the second is totally blown. The first oneis oversharpened. The second one shouldn't habe the empty space behind the bird - put that in front of the bird. We don't care where he has been , rather where he is headed. Finally, do whatever you can to get two things: 1) killer sharpenss and feather detail without too much sharpening, and 2) must have an eye glint! So postion yourself and pick your time of day to ensure and eye glint.
