Well. . .what would a SandyP slice of life be without one of these birds. I took a picture of one at the park, fully intending for it to be just a normal majestic photo of a white bird against the sky.
But. . . to heal my wounds over having to re-work my Point of View entry because what was legal in basic this morning, became illegal this afternoon (tone-mapping), I decided to get all the illegal stuff out of my system on today's slice of life photo since I can't on my challenge entry. Wahhhhhhh
Anyway, my thoroughly timely taken bird photo is now set against a previously taken moon photo. . .and dipped in a flood filter. So there. I feel better now :)
ahhhh ... i thought you'd put something in the challenge and got a dq .. but i read it wrong ... thank goodness for that .. it would'v been awful to get a dq for not realising a change of rule .. :)
this is the most beautiful image ..
i cant believe they would dq something after changing the game plan like that ... if this is the photograph that got a dq i'd be wahhhhhh too !! .. coz it looks like it would'v got a ribbon for sure .. love the processing you've done with the flood and the moon .. you have a great talent for combining your amazing photographic talent with a beautiful imagination and creative gift ... :)
We ALL feel better, Sandy. This is just stunningly beautiful. The delicate tones are gorgeous. The sky could not be a better background for this incredibly breath-taking bird. And what a fabulous use of the flood filter.
Astounding. The paleness of the tones combined with the delicacy of the details in the bird make this a standout. What a graceful and beautiful image this is.
