Another photo of the Anna's who has been hanging around all year. Sure wish his cousins would stay longer as the Rufous and Costa's were only here briefly. Hope they return when Gina's sister, Lee arives from Bournemouth in 2 weeks :) At least the weather is beautiful, 60 low, high 80's with clear vivid blue skies. :)
Now I better get on the stick & tidy up my desk so Lee can move into the den. Usually I just close the door :eek:
CC's Welcome and always appreciated.

now uncle gus, you know i have to keep you honest!! it's my job! i see some clone marks down the stem of the flower. love the compo. that hummer is so beautiful! nice job!
Thanks, "Eagle Eye," nice to see your on the job. Those were eraser marks from the flower layer when I added the flower . . . Good catch :cool::cool::cool:
Have a look now after I changed photos . . . . ???????
Hey Uncle Gus, I like the composition and capture. You have sharp details with rich vibrant colors on the bird. The background makes this little guy pop ...well done...For my taste Uncle Gus; I would desaturate the red channel on the flower...all in all , good job...:cool:
Sorry it took me so long to see what you were talking about. Had problems with CS4 as the eraser would not work , , , Only way to fix it fast is Ctrl+Alt+Shft when starting to put it back to the default, but I don't want to lose my preferences, and need to save them first. Paint Shop Pro X2 (The poor man's PS. $59.95 full, about half for an upgrade} to the rescue to add new flower without cloned stem :D:D:D
This watercolor was done with Corel Painter Essentials, one of 7 free goodies with Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 Ultimate, Fun program.
