    Thanks for commenting .. much appreciated. I did several renditions on this one.. it was one of those images that I would normally just delete, however due to the pose of the bird I thought I could make it into something more pleasing to the eye. When I took this shot I was laying down flat in my driveway (yes negihbors think i'm a little wierd anyway) and shooting under my suburban with very bright noon sun (bird was under the truck). So after cropping, cloning out the concrete lines and adjusting the layers a bit, it was still just a snapshot. That is when it became an experiment.. So in short, I'm glad you guys like it thumb.gif

    I really love it when you find something "in the trash" and can make it a keeper. Certainly wouldn't have thought of it as shot under the suburban. Was this inspired by the assignment board's task of stripping away all the clutter, or just coincidental?
