A crow playing in the wind on a snowy Saturday afternoon in February prompted me to get the Canon T6i out. These were taken with the 55-250mm lens. The original photos are so atmospheric that I started posterizing them in Photoshop and then gave Lightroom a try. I’ve never used it before and was curious to see what it could do. As a simple image editor it can do quick and effective image touch-ups. LIghtroom did a nice job of making the images posterized in Photoshop pop…

| The crow colourized and layered with the background monochromed in black & white |

| After some tweaking in Lightroom. The tree reflection caught in the window could have been washed out, but I liked how it came out with the vignetting. I’m reading Neil Gaiman’s Norse Gods at the moment and this reminds me of Odin’s crow Huginn and Yggdrasil, the world tree. |
