I took this picture of this humming bird from inside the kitchen, how can I improve this picture for a better close up of the bird? I croped it down to this so far. Anything else I can do? thanks terp

:cry: There's really nothing you can do with this image. It's out of focus, grainy, dirty and soft. As much as you want a crisp image, the best way to get one is 'in the camera' Photoshop can do wonders with 'clean' camera images. But it can't perform miracles. I'd suggest you work on your photographic skills for a while. Please don't take this advise as sarcasm or think that I'm putting you down, I'm not. Keep shooting and good luck.

OK Terp... these both are much better images. Now if you can zoom in ( I'd suggest a tripod ) and try to fill the frame with the bird, you may capture something to work with. As you can see, the rest of the photo is of little or no value. [righton]
