Topaz edit

For Down Under Challenge No. 970, I used mainly Topaz Glow, which I downloaded only a few hours before I started playing with Gill4leuren's challenge image (see it in 1st comment); so this is my first attempt at using Glow.

With a little help from Topaz and Photoshop.

This was the first Monarch I saw this summer and it didn't happen until September.

An older photo I decided to have fun with in Topaz Studio.

I have created a new Topaz Studio group, if anyone is interested in joining you will be most welcome.

A male ruby topaz hummingbird (Chrysolampis mosquitus). Hummers are territorial and this one would perch on this branch to watch over his domain. Anytime another hummer entered, he would fly off to chase it away.

I wanted to get him (or any other hummer) feeding off a flower, but they just move so fast. I had to settle for a perch shot. This location was inside a tree, so I used a ladder to get eye-level and a flash to provide fill light.

The male ruby topaz has wonderful colors but they are not on display all of the time (or even most of the time). You need to catch the male when it flares out its feathers which causes it to transfer from a drab brown little bird into something like what you see here - red top, yellow breast.

Heading for very hot days. This seemed fitting to help me keep cool.

I couldn't walk down to the waters edge, but these peek-a-boo views were still quite delightful.

I couldn't resist a bit of HDR magic to bring out the aqua colored water.

Found on my walk today.

I used a Topaz texture to obscure the unattractive structures around the truck.

Happy Truck Thursday!
