New member - still trying to down load a picture. This picture is the combination of two files. One shot (bkgrn) with a D70s and the cardinal with a D2XS, 200-400mm, 1.7tc. Combined in PhotoShop CS3.

(bkgrn) D70s, 18-70mm - 46mm, Av mode @ F8, AF-S, Exposure Comp: +1.1/3, Matrix Metering, ISO: 200 with AUTO WB. File shot in Central California foothills.

(bird) D2XS, 200-400mm - 900mm, AV mode @ 6.7, Shutter: 1/15 sec., Fill Flash, AF mode: AF-S, Metering mode: Matrix, ISO 400. Sat./normal, Sharpness: none, Contrast: normal. File shot in So. Texas

I would also like to thank Jim, Lana and the membership for their help and instruction.

Congrats on a successful post. This would be good for a greeting card. The red stands out so well against the predominantly black and white scene. I like the placement of the cardinal at the edge.

Hi Rob glad you were able to upload !!!

Agree with Lana this would be a perfect post card !!! Well conceived and executed My suggestion would be to tone down the red in the cardinal For some reason without any saturation increase they look over saturated Big Congrats !!!!

Red carpet welcome, Rob, what a grand entrance at that :)


I like how yu used our color to make the borders disappear, excellent composition and innovative idea. Kudos and can't wait for more :)

Nice combination of images and I agree, a great greeting card.

Beautiful. Looks like a Christmas ornament or decorative plate. very nice.

Great concept! And as mentioned a perfect holiday or seasonal card. Just one minor suggestion is to clone out the branch that merges with the cardinal's beak, or move the cardinal slightly up. A real stand out!
