    Default August Christmas

    I was attempting to add a little contrast to my image and this happened! Masked the eye back in . I like it, kinda reminds me of Christmas. Is this too easy to be considered OTB?

    Hi Roy, I wouldn't mind getting this song sparrow for Christmas! If an image slips out of the box and makes something cool I say bring it. :) I like this, just wish that one blue leaf on the right wasn't there and you could go a little sharper on the eye. Thanks for sharing!

    Merry Christmas, Roy! ;)

    Nice image and you may want to come back later, when we do normally have a Christmas card theme week. This would be a great one for that. But welcomed anytime, as creativity should not have seasons! ;)

    I might crop the top a little, if it were mine, to bring the bird out of the image center area. But your image ... your vision and very nice as is.

    I see Kerry's point, but I do not mind the blue leaf, as there is a pattern of blue throughout the image.

    Just a little more abstract than some cards would be. ;) :cool:

    Roy, This definitely qualifies for OOTB. Great job with this colors and the effect. It will make a lovely Christmas card. The OOF stem in the BG is very dark.

    I like it Roy. Wild colours, I might back off on the sharpening a bit. Always fun to play around with an image, you'll never know what you'll get!
