Merry Christmas to All

I used Dave Seeram "snowfall action", and Dave Woeller's "paint by number" on an image of a Spotted Sandpiper that I took while on vacation this summer. I was lying on the beach waiting for a Western Grebe to hopefully swim by and this sandpiper just walked up to me.

We're supposed to get a foot of snow or freezing rain tonite and tomorrow..won't need to us fake snow maker tomorrow

All is well on the health front, two more stents (replacing the reblocked one from last year)...hopefully they will take this time.

To all my good friends in BPN:

Have a Great Festive Season and a Great 2013!

Paul, I wish you and your family a very Happy HEALTHY Holiday Season and I will keep you in my thoughts, speedy recover to you :)
I might place the bird back a little in the frame if it were mine. Of course I wish it were mine since I have not one image of a Spotted Sandpiper! The snow is a nice touch!

Paul, a great image. I love the snow and I'm sure you've probably got more than you need now:S3: I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and I'm so glad you're on your way to recovery. (Those birds are out there waiting for you to resume your quest!)

Absolutely love the image Paul. The very best to you and your family for the holiday season and take care.

Nice job getting the sandpiper to stand out so well against the background. The blue/brown color combination is great, and the snow really works with the rest of the image.

Love the pose and snow,Paul! Stay warm and Happy Holidays to you guys. :S3:
PS I'm so happy to hear you are on the mend. Hope you leave the shoveling for others. :w3

Beautiful composition and awesome processing! Merry Christmas to you too!

The snow looks very realistic--as if it had just begun to fall. Thanks for the good wishes, and the same to you.

Thanks You All...have a great festive season.

Love it Paul! Hope you and your family have a great holiday season!!!
