Limpkin in Flight

Limpkin in Flight 8512, originally uploaded by floridanaturephotography.

Photoshop.......I have done so little in over a year that it really was scary to jump back into it and it took almost a full day to remember just what I needed to do and in what sequence but I again feel like I have a small grasp on it.
I have been culling some older images and I came across this one of a Limkin in flight
and after a few simple PS moves like Levels, Shadow & Highlight, Curves, H&S and USM I was able to bring this image to life.

I know most people hear the word Photoshop and they automatically think.....FAKE, but I assure you this is not so in most cases such as here. I would venture to say that almost every digital image can and will benefit from a few simple PS adjustments.
