A little punching, a little ripping and the strength and power of these birds come through without a problem. Of course the 'proper' contrast, saturation and hue adjustments were needed ... as well as the 'right' amount of light.

Keep things simple at first, especially if you've never created a real message. And remember, not all pieces of art need to be blurry.

An In Focus World is your stage — and it's curtain time.
