The base image of this creation has been one of my favorite bad images for quite a while.
I've toyed with trying to "fix" it in a "serious" way, but keep getting whimsical instead.
I decided to try an OOB.
The semi translucent feathers on the wings are giving me a hard time since the BG shows through. I could out the image on a similar BG, but I'm a little too stubborn to admit defeat that easily. I may go through and change the greens to another color.
I'm not sure about the added wing being behind the frame like it is coming out the other side. Also, I've gone back and forth on leaving the feeder partly in the image. As shown, I think I made the bird look a little fat and bottom heavy.
Here's the work in progress:
