Anna's Hummingbird on Aloe Vera-PB

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Beautiful sunny day with bright blue sky this morning so I took a few shots with Olympus Pen mirrorless camera of a hummer on the feeder and a Aloe Vera plant beside a Cholla Cactus.

I removed the feeder from the Anna's Hummingbird, then moved it onto the Aloe Vera backgound, gave a round in Pixel bender, then lightened it in curves, a tad of smart sharpen and finished with 4 rounds of stroke for the border.

Comments always welcome and appreciated.

Keep smiling

Gus

Gus, I like it. Very different. The frame within a frame of different colors is a real eye-catcher. The only thing I noticed, that the one flower on the right is split between the two frames, but no biggie. Cool stuff.

Gus, this is different and creative! I love the painterly effect and the framing. Wonderful colors! Agree with Jay on the split flowers... wonderful even otherwise! TFS.

Hi Guys;

I agree with you 100% on the flower.

Here's my new version.

Thanks for your kind comments
