What a fun image - there is so much going on among the various birds!
Very nice image, Mihail, and welcome to OOTB! The silhouetted look works very well here. I love the various poses and especially like how all the small birds are looking towards the big one. Could you tell us a little more about the image and what you did.
My thoughts exactly, Christopher! Is this a composite or an actual image? How did you do the black and white conversion? Lovely details on all the birds...might give them a touch more sharpening around the edges to crisp it all up a bit more.
Hello Mihail and welcome! This is a really fun image!! They do look like they are learning to sing, and I love the way the wires mimic a musical staff. Thanks for sharing here!
Hi all and thanks for visiting and comments! Also thanks for the warm welcome.
This image is composed of several others (about 6-7-8) in a sleepless night (I played - fun)
I shot several aspects (situation, position) that these birds and worked in PS (levels, curves, contrast, black&white, etc.)
I extract several pictures that I liked and i have united (overlap) in a single image.
Big bird have increased (enlarge) in particular - look like a teacher.
Birds call starlings (graur/grauri in romanian) - Sturnus vulgaris - are funny and cute birds, play nice - whistle the seven tones.
My cat - Baghera - lurks (spy) but not to hunt because it is young and inexperienced.

Therefore Please be understanding and go over any mistakes of expression.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info on what you did, Mihail. Looking forward to seeing more of your work :)
With pleasure, I will expose others.
The title says it! Thanks for making me smile. Nice work here and a good way to spend sleepless hours. Your English adequately conveys what you did. :)
Mihail, Big Welcome to OOTB. Thank you for providing your workflow. This reminds me of a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". Very interesting look. I think the image design is nice w/ the assorted poses on the birds. I'm thinking the BG looks a bit funky? Very nice image and looking forward to more.:)
Love the image design and all that singing. The BKGr has lots of small blotches. The birds could not be better placed.
Thank you all - appreciate the nice comments!
*Yes, Denise, I think Baghera has much despite because he "tickles" the birds can not...
