Photo 1-Pigeons in the Park

                                                              Before

After

This photo was a great starting off point. I wanted to erase the shadows in the picture, enhance the pigeons drinking from the water, and blur the image a bit.

The tools I predominantly used was the clone tool to erase the shadows by cloning the rocks. Another tool is the magnetic lasso, this was used to mask the object (pigeons) and hit the inverse option, and use the Gaussian blur on the background.

I like this photo, although it is farely easier then the other photos, these mini projects take longer than you think. So be patient and take your time.
