Hi,
One for the bird lovers. Done using the defringe method a la Butch.
The Jackdaw has a reputation as a thief, it will steal anything shiny.
Comments, good or critical appreciated.
I've altered the photo.
Which do you prefer?
Kev.

Kev, very nice. I would rather see more cloud in the sky so that the birds stand out a bit more, but that is only MHO :D

Karen,
I've altered it and posted the 2nd image with the first.
Any better?
Kev:)

Hmmm...I like it with more clouds in the sky. It must be too early in the morning for me because I didn't even notice the difference until I read Karen's post. :rolleyes:

Kev,
I think Karen's right - the extra clouds make the birds stand out more. Very nice job!
