Re: March 2016 Photo Competition winner
Yes congratulations Tiffany. You have got a good depth of field in the photo.
Being a keen photographer myself if I may I would suggest you purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements any version from 10 to 14 depending on your finances.
There is a free 30 day trial download on the Adobe web site I think you will find.

You can dramatically improve on what you take, even a bad colour photo can look good in monochrome
I did grab you photo above and now deleted it, I do not "Lift" photos from anyone for any personal gain, only to see what improvements can be made to pass on to the original photographer
What I did find is that be reducing the bright areas and just a little sharpening to emphasis the feathers makes a big difference
Hope you don't mind me doing this. I won't even post the edits I did on here.
With photography it is not so much if others like your pictures ,the most important thing is if you who took the photo likes it, anything else is a bonus.
Constructive criticism can be helpful, nasty criticism is best ignored
