This Image started out as photography but when I looke at it in photoshop I thought the background was way to dark to post it like that so I tried to make the sky lighter blue but it didn't work the way I wanted it so I was just playing around with some textures and shades and stuff and this is the result I hope you like it and enjoy. If you have any comments or critiques they are very welcome here.

Beautiful. I like the metal foil and black together. Reminds me of those cardinals I sometimes see outside, but they're too camera-shy :( Anyway, great manip here!

Awesome picture! To me it has a spooky feel about it! I think it could be the cover picture for Edgar Allan Poe's book "The Raven". Looks best in full screen to get full effect of it! Nicely done here!!

Hey Max, My friend.....this is quite good, I do admire you for your exlporations into the differences of creating your images.....this is no exception...it is reflection of what your 'up and coming' talents are heading for! the silhouette of the bird is a beauty....well done....Bob

Nice Photo Presentation! The black colored bird and tree looks excellent against the grey to white background.
