Let's have a little fun... I've posted two different raw datasets - photos of birds taken with my Canon EOS-40D and 100-400 zoom lens.
The challenge is this: Make one or both into an image that feels 3D and real and at the same time celebrates the beauty of the animals and scenery. Post your results in this thread at at least 800 pixels in the long dimension, up to as large as you like. Spend as much or little time as you like.
Above all: Have fun!
If you have a few extra moments, type up a summary of what you did. Or not - your choice. It's not required.
And feel free to comment on images posted herein.
How good you can make these look?
