:huh :rofl :rofl :rofl

Sorry..that wasn't very nice of me. I had PS'd these for a responce to a knock at Canon shooters, on another site. Figured I wasted enough time on them..might as well share them here. :uhoh

I've got plenty of osprey shots to PP..but need more time to get them done. Pics to follow...someday. :thumb

Thanks for looking...and if you are annoyed by this nonsense....throw something at HarryB. :D

    I'm glad to see someone besides me just have fun once in a while. Most of the time we are way to serious.

    That's the famous BS osprey. They are usually sighted by photographers with too much time on their hands. rolleyes1.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It's just a "stereo" type Osprey. one with a split-personality.

    Hey Mike, you had me going there for a minute. Cool PS trickery, which requires skill. 10p for the PS and 10p for the last shot clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    Thanks for looking Jeff. I thought about making it a 3 headed fire breathing osprey with damsel in distress ...in it's talons. eek7.gif:D I don't have that much time on my hands. rolleyes1.gif

    For the record....this wasn't taken with one of those ugly Nikons. The wings were clipped intentionally. There is a difference between just missing the wingtips and framing "in tight" to capture a facial expression........duh! blbl.gif :lol4
