It’s hard to produce really good images without wanting to make some little tweak in a way that only Photoshop can do. My problem has always been fear and lack of creativity. I cringe at the idea of using Photoshop.
That’s changing, thanks to some great podcasts. If you use Photoshop, or Lightroom, check out Lightroom [...]

The same owl, with some HDR treatment for detail and color.
