Out on the Limb

[Mark Fuge]

This image was taken at Merritt Island NWR earlier this year.

Modification in CS4 included; Accent Edges, Paint Daubs, Ink Outline, Dry Brush, Cutout and Craquelure. The frame was made from an image of a section of Palm tree bark.

Enjoy!

Hi Mark, I love the frame - it suits the image really well. Am also enjoying the muted colours. I think that I might have prefered a slight head turn from the bird.
Best,
Nicki

Thanks for viewing and comments, Nicki. Appreciate it.

The bird is looking right at the camera, while maybe a more 45 degree would be nice, I liked the expression for this title. But appreciate your comment, as well.

Hi Mark, Love the frame. It goes so well with the photo. Nice colors and pose. I don't mind the HA. :)

Mark, I like the textured look to the BG. The bird's face gets lost a bit. I think the frame is very unique looking and it does go well w/ the image. I might clone the stick reflected at the bottom. I think the vertical comp. here looks good.:)

Mark, I love that frame. You and Christopher have that wooden frame thing perfected. I also really like the composition of the bird "out on a limb". The background colors and texture work really well with the frame.

The colors and textures here are lovely! I wish the bird stood out from the rest of the image a bit more. The frame is outstanding.

Thanks Patti & Anita for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

Mark, when I first saw the frame I thought it was rattlesnake skin:eek: It is really nice and compliments the colors in the image. I really like the pose also.:)
