From an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan
The mockup
The original photo was bad, but that's what I needed.
the first correction in Camera Raw
cut it out, put it in the background
Edited some reflections, lighting, shadows and made the final color correction in Camera Raw.In addition, I made a blur effect with focus on the center and wings of the bird.
It turned out exactly what I wanted by taking this, at first look, failed photo - a greeting card for the New Year.
