Today I went noticing…and I noticed two squirrels exploring one of our birdhouses. The squirrel inside the house was NOT interested in sharing.

I would describe the editing process for this photograph as — if you’ll pardon the expression — “polishing a turd.” I mean, it was never going to be an award-winning shot, but I had to use every one of Lightroom’s tools to make it postable at all. The scene was cute, but my angle on it was super awkward, full of distracting elements. By the time I found a better angle, the scene was over. I decided that, from here on out, my photos of the day can’t take too much post-processing.
