Vulture

The Vulture on the branch is pretty much as shot excepth that I used a Flaming Pear filter named Mr. Contrast to enhance the image. I replaced the background with one that I made up on Studio Artist.

dramatic image, I think I'd try and soften the edges to help blend the vulture/branch into the background a little better.

Love the reds, blacks, and grays, Mike.

Very dramatic image. Rob's comment on feathering the edges is a good one.

Good job.

Carol

PS, I'd sure put some of those branches back in, Mike. You lost some of your wonderful composition and framing when you played with your chain saw ;^)
