Nice and unusual shot of a colorful bird, Steve. It'd be neat to bring it into PS, and layer in a person, staring back, but very small! Kind of a spooky stare!

Edit: oops, I see your name's Marilu! Sorry!

Welcome to the board, and thanks for the comments!

Steve,

Now that is an evil stare. Sort of reminds me of the look I get from SWMBO every time I mention a new lens.... 8)

Good capture. :wink:

Very cool Steve.........that bird looks like he sees some dinner!!

Nice image Steve. It is good enough that I think I would spend a little PS time and clone out the post in the background. It's unusual that's for sure.

Very cool I agree with Gordon spend a little time and clone out that post

I'll run with Marilu's comment and take it farther, clone in a small human, like a shrunken man staring back up. As far as the look on the bird, my father has that look when I tick him off.

Thnx everyone, but cloning out that post would be impossible

These birds feed on my built in bench on my deck, and the rails are unavoidable. I challenge anyone who thinks the y can "clone" out that post, and have it look seemless, and undetecable!
