Taken in a makeshift bird-blind (my kids' playtent) on our patio with the 180mm Macro. PP is nothing but RAW conversion and some hue shift to make the background more green. (hopefully the green background doesn't doom me to another 4th place finish) Crop, resize, USM
The font is supposed to invoke a hippy flavor.

yeah... looking at this, you photo is really nice, and the font is an ok choice, but the gradient overlay/overall graphic design leaves a bit to be desired. I think a more subdued type may have complemented the image better.
Doc, Doc, Doc...what were you thinking? LOL That is psychadelic, supercalofragelistic man. I thought it was something you'd expect from KTel. I was going to leave a comment picking on the font and the cheesy layout not knowing it was you. Good thing I didn't.
Your photography is HOT, but your desktop publishing methods...well...I'd better not say. Makes me feel better. We finally found a chink in his armour.
I am writing to site council and asking them to make all future challenges include text...
You are fantastic man...I am in Nairobi laughing my head off...
DPL's second album did indeed have more cowbell, but nothing could top their cover of Flight of the Bumblebee. Sadly, they were doomed to be one-hit wonders. 9
Can't go wrong with more cowbell :-) Not sure the psychedilc lettering complements the hummingbird (love the sharpness on his head, though). Still, gotta' give you an extra point for making me smile.
Damn, wish I'd thought of using the cowbell line. Nice shot, but the font-use leaves me with a distinctly non-album feeling. I think the multicolored lettering distracts a bit too much.
you win the most painful font and font treatment of the challenge!
This is a great photo - I've tried to take these and they are not easy. So I find myself torn between judging the photo (7 in my book) and deducting for the font which is a part of the presentation...
