I spotted this bird in the backyard and sneaked up to it to get this image. I thought this was a cute pose-thus the title. After cloning out a dark shadow band from the fence directly behind the bird, I took it into PSE to clean up my clone job and apply the posterization and texture.
While not a major item, I might clone out the spots around the bird. I know this is from the Poster Edge filter, but due to the limited number of "spots", it appears to be a "missed cloning item". :( I find using a larger (24, etc) clone brush get's it done quickly! ;)
Great pose you captured, Julie. And that eye is wonderful. Like the PP apart from what look like 'fly specks' on the background to me. No offence meant:)
I loves me a robin redbreast! Cute pose and you really took it to the comic side with the poster effects. I'd also clone out the extra spots throughout the image per Mark's instruction.
