I photographed this white-throated sparrow back in the woods. There were a couple of distracting branches that I had to clone out. I applied the dry brush, palette knife, paint daubs, and watercolor filters; and then used a dab of white to enhance the catchlight in the eye. The frame was created from one of my wood texture photos(Thanks for the idea, Mark :)). Any comments and critiques would be most appreciated.
Christopher, I like the framing and the assorted filter effects. The BG color is fantastic! I'm not crazy about the branch that merges w/ the tail. Would leave a bit more room in back for the virtual tail. It's a very cute image and might be worth a tail repair.:) I like that you thought to include a matboard for your frame. Nicely done.
Christopher, That is a very cool frame. I like the splintery look. I also like the diagonal of the branch. Agree with Denise on the tail.
Cute little bird, nicely processed. I agree with Denise about the tail. Lovely BG. Great job with the frame!
Thanks very much, Denise, Patti, and Anita. Appreciate the comments. I agree that the tail is a bit of a problem. Not sure if I might be able to repair it or not, but I'll see.
Ditto on the above, but wanted to say how much I like the frame. Lovely bg - well done.
Nice image and application, Christopher.
Nice BG.
The frame is nice ... Your welcome! ;) :D It's easy and I have like the variability of the same frame with contrast and color adjustments. Try it ... you might like it as well.
Thanks very much for the comments, Barbara and Mark. I can see lots of possibilities for this frame technique. :)
