Great isolation! Where did you take it and how did you do it? #1359069Lori Risley March 08, 2011
Thanks William! It was taken at a nesting area behind a strip mall in New Port Richey, Fl. The background was already dark, so all I had to do was a levels adjustment in Photoshop, then burn in any other light spots. I liked the contrast between the black background and white feathers. #9279779Joan Miller March 10, 2011

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
