Bill, The script adds to the look of stone/marble. I like the BG image w/ your sig. high-key look. The birds look carefully placed but not perfectly placed which adds to the image IMO. The tree trunk w/ the greens adds just the right amount of texture. The masters touch is the wooden slat. Fantastic work and one of my new favorites of yours.:)

My goodness Denise! Thank you, I'm glad you like it. Sure appreciate your assessment as always. regards~Bill

Hi Bill. I like this a lot and appreciate your artistic eye. I have always been a fan of mixed color and monochrome and this is used with nice subtlety here. I love how you put the three birds in three different planes, from rear to front. Might also be cool to put one on the URC of the wooden slat to complete the liberation from the frame! Very cool!!

well done William , what program is this ?

Awesome composite Bill! I love the texture and cracks of the window. The bird on the bottom really adds a lot for me and I like the one in the middle a lot, but I think the composition might even be better without the bird and perching branch at the top.

Excellent composite work, Bill! Love the textures and comp. I like the splashes of color provided by the top and middle birds, though the top bird looks a little cramped to me. Would it be possible to move it so that it's perching on the wooden slat? Just a thought!

Very creative and nice composition Bill.

I appreciate the feedback. I too agree the vermillion flycatcher needs eviction, mainly due to the cramped space. Placing one on the slat would be a good idea but I don't have an image with a bird in that type of orientation. I neglected to list software, which most of you guys that see my images probably already know. CS4/Topaz Adjust3(small detail preset)/Topaz Clean2/Redfield Fractalius
On this image the window/slat was Topaz Adjust3(small detail preset)/Topaz Clean2. The birds and background Fractalius; sharpness:100 and Line width: 0 for both instances, adj other sliders. Script; PS Illustrator Thanks again! regards~Bill
