Kathy, what a beautiful composite! I agree that the composition would be stronger with the top of the neck included on the second bird but it's still lovely. I went in and evened out your BG a bit - you had a few spots that were dark and one that was a little hot - and this (I feel) puts the emphasis on the color and lines of the image and not the BG. I also increased the whites just a bit for a nicer contrast.
Hi Kathy,
I like your image. Two things that needed to be in place to put this one over the top...:D The first is the cut off section of the neck; and the second is the head angle on the flamingo to the left; his eye needs to be looking at you. Julie, congrats on the repost...you made the image pop...:cool:
Hi Kathy: I could qualify as a starving artist and surgeon as this is not near the quality of work you do, however, with a good imagination maybe you could see some merit of having a full neck as some suggested??? Can delete it in a heart beat if it offends you . . . Uncle Gus
