Thanx Dimitri. You are very kind as always.

Scissors and glue should do it

Then use a fine black pencil to sketch the outline for sharpness, scan the finished article and post it ... that would be a real PP retro-breakthrough.

Thanx Dave old bean, I could certainly do THAT !

You have to do it fella ... it would be a scream I'm almost PP-ing myself in anticipation!

OK , I'll do it for tomorrow, I'll do it....just please stop "post processing" yourself, the thought of you doing it while in dress makes me kinda uncomfortable even over here, accross the Atlantic.

Wait a minute, who said you were sitting at the keyboard all dressed ??

Nice job Peter, your cedar waxwing is great. Keep sharing.

Thanx Dennis.

Also, some people have suggested that the sky/background was blown out, kinda inadequate. So, following the lead of landscape and kindred photo artists, I have jazzed up the background with some rather elementary PP techniques.

Please tell me what you think, but please be gentle for I am just a PP beginner..

Dont know how I missed this classic of yours. We dont have cute little birds down here.

I like, a little surrealistic touch but very artistic.

I think that may be the rare Pacific Collage Waxwing. A minnow eater I believe. Very well done Peter, I don't see any glue!

Thanx Paul....Condyk should be given some credit too.

Blue......thanx.....you have alreaday demostrated your PP supremacy in "Dinner on Saturn".

Gary....Condyk made me use the bird cutout
However, two camera bodies and no less than three fine lenses were used in the creation of this masterpiece: EF-S 10-22, 300 f4 and 35 f2.0.

All elements work perfectly together. With a little imagination, pen, scissors, glue and a cheap scanner we can all become PP masters. The birds looks perfectly at home in its new environment. It has genius qualities ...

A+ for hilarity

Thanx Dave.
BTW, no cheap scanners used.....the collage was simply re-photographed with 35mm f2.0. Pay attention class, we did say we used " three fine lenses" to create the composite image.

But I had something like this in mind, really jazz it up:

I'm sure somebody in here will sandwich (layer) your two photos to make "One heck of a Shot".

Waiting....but not holding my breath..
