I may have made a meal of this trying to change the BG color in PS. This was a backyard setup from a few years ago.

I would like to wish all my NSN family a Merry Christmas and I hope you all get the shots you want in 2004. It's been pure Joy moderating this forum, (It actually needs very little moderating, you guys are a very cordial and friendly group).

Not knowing what the bg was originally, it looks great to me. A wonderful image for a Christmas card.

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. :D

Alan,

Wonderful capture. The berries certainly compliment the woodpecker and give this a Christmas appeal. Happy Holidays to you and may 2004 be as productive for you now that you don't have to scan images any more.

Jim
Enjoy viewing
