2)I'm feeling Lucky
3)Tuning
4)Sharpen
5)Saturation
6)Tuning

I take my daughter to a local park where the chickadees are quite used to getting handouts. She gets a kick out of it and the birds get a free meal.

What is step 2) in your processing 'I'm feeling lucky'? A random adjustment layer or something?
Edit: Excellent Bokeh. Is the bird alive?

I'm not sure why somebody would question this photo (saw the validation under the photo). Great capture, nice DOF.

When I could not see the out-of-focus bird food I really liked the photo; but I found the food distracting, sorry.

I'm guessing prof_fate for this one for some strange reason -- although I'm probably WAYYYY off.

I like the photo a lot -- don't know how you got the bird to sit on your hand!
