"You look petrified ... It's not a GUN! ... It's a CAMERA! ... and the old guy behind it is harmless. C'mon, you want some of this peanut to calm your nerves ?"

TRUTH IN ADVERTISING: In case it's not painfully obvious, this is a manip. Two seperate captures of a Chickadee that I couldn't resist merging to create this scenario.

If it brings a smile, then all the frustration and mumbled expletives uttered while doing so paid off. :)

Very clever, dear one! I think you did a @$&%$@#ing good job!
Must be a day for chickadees. These are such lovely little birds and a joy to have around because they aren't as timid as the others. If you hadn't told us about the manip, we might never have known. :)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

You have done an expert job in joining the two photos. I can't see where the joint is! Lovely shot, John - the cursing and frustration were worthwhile!

Hey John,
If you'd not told, none of us would have known! lol. Great addition, I'm thinking it's the lower bird that's the addition, once warned it seems to me he's a tad brighter than the rest of the image and that white space between his feet seems out of context. Cute shot as the outcome, which is the real point. Good job.

I've been looking through you gallery and I see you have a very keen sense of humor. This one is no exception. I won't comment on each and everyone, just suffice it to say that I'm really getting a kick out of rummaging around in here. Have a good week John. Manip is excellent by the way.
