Stretching Boundaries?

[Viky]

Hi Guys,

Woke up early this Sunday and decided to shoot this flock of pigeons on our terrace..

Didn't see anything other than the ordinary... so, used some imagination and came up with these...

#1 The Blessed Couple

Intentionally overexposed the sun in camera and then pulled down the exposure by 4 stops during RAW conversion to get these divine halo rings:)


#2 The Pigeon Print

Made this abstract by merging 24 different in flight silhouette shots of the pigeons:)

I don't know whether this is photography, or art or excessive photo manipulation or even digital exploitation!

Specifically calling for comments /criticism / input /feedback from each and every viewer! I need your opinions... so, go ahead, say it exactly as you want to!

Thanks for looking:)

Artistic, good effort you have put in there. I especially like The Blessed Couple :)

First one is a little overexposed for my taste...but Im diggin the second. Very cool shot and editing is well done. Would like to see more like that.
