This is quite the manipulation Cindy! The color that you achieved is very tranquil and peaceful. The whole image evokes a sense of quiet. What a beautiful desktop this will make. Right into my favorites folder on my hard drive so I can run it in my screensaver slideshow program.
Thanks also for the visit to ~happy birth day babies~. These house finches are welcome guests on our front porch. We have not looked since the image was posted. Momma needs to be with those little ones. They are safe from the winds and the rain and the storms that we have been having and safe from predators. We think that Momma bird left the nest for a minute as a thank you for allowing her to set up housekeeping under our porch light :~)
IF I see the baby are unattended at a later date, I will attempt another shot, but as this time, I have no plans on disturbing them. Your continued support, comments and critique are deeply appreciated :~)
Oh, I love this yummy pink - the manip on the flowers is great work. The lighting adds a lovely glow - And nice the blurred background. Great job, Cindy!
