Well then, trace your steps back so that you find out how you lost it. I cannot do that so it really is up to you there.

If you intend to make small sphere and use them in a composite image, save each of the sphere as a document and use them as a document layer instead of loading them as a normal pixel layer. The advantage is that you will not lose a single pixel when downsizing the spheres...

Note: I use PS CC so my information may not be valid if you use another software.

Yes, it had a defining edge at first, but then I lost it....

My 2nd attempt...I haven't really played around with photo manipulation. It took me all day to figure out how to do this...which I know already is simple compared to some spheres I have seen on here...:) Don't laugh...I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks...

Hmmmm, I like the blue in the sky. I don't like the way the amber hues wash out with the added blue. Weird...but the pic is beautiful....you really brought the variation of colors out. I 'feel' though that it takes away from the overall sharpness of the birds' images but I don't know how or why? with the blue added. Thank you, I appreciate you taking time to improve the photo and give your viewpoint. It is appreciated.

Matted and framed - so maybe that means someone would buy one or two ? I hope...:) anyhow, I am thankful for the insight. I keep hearing a recurring theme of someone liking the original for being 'darker' - which means there is something to learn there for me...anyhow, I found the original photo, was wondering how to post it without cluttering up the board with repeated photo, but would like your perspective. Thank you...and, is there a glossary page for photo 'vocabulary' as I am totally a newbie and do not know one thing about some of these topics :) Thank you again for your help.

Thank you! I have denoised the fall day photo...what a difference! Such a smoother look. :) I will have to hunt down the original hummingbird photo. It is much darker...interesting..it was the colors in the photo that I loved with the light....

Thank you all for the welcome. So it is out there. :) I was wondering if anyone ever saw what I posted to my blog(s) as no one ever comments. Leaves you with an always second guessing yourself feeling.

I ran across this message board while researching information about selling your photographs. I fell in to photography as a side venture of therapy after quitting my job due to a bullying manager. Creating content became my salve to heal my soul. I highly doubt I am good enough to sell my pictures as art, but then again, who knows? and I figured it was worth a try since I am in no way going back to my old career. I am here to learn more about cameras, tips, tricks and just improve my skills to take a great photograph. I am open to criticism only if it is constructive and done in a manner to help grow, not to demean, belittle or put someone down as I have had enough of that to last a life time. Thank you for your input and advice. Looking forward to sharing my pictures and have already seen lots of awesome pictures...you can see samples of my 'art' at debbieegleston.blogspot.com
