little bird stood
in the light of the moon
singing his sad
mockingbird tune
This baby mockingbird was on a branch right above the car windshield when I took a friend home, so I shot it through the glass. Everything is "legit" except the moon. TEE HEE - did a layer and a duotone.
Judy - Awesome image. I love how fitting the moon seems to be in the image - good stuff. Without the moon, the image would be missing something - the negative space would just be too large a hole
p.s. I really wanted to make sure you were the recipient of my 6000th comment - since the first comment you ever gave me made me want to give helpful and useful comments. Thanks again!
Love the bird - great shot through a windshield! Don't mind the moon but probably want to see it moved just a tad to the left. Or not. Really a well put together shot.
When the sun in the morning
Peeps over the hill,
And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill
Then my heart fills with gladness
When I hear the trill
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockin' Bird Hill
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill
When it's late in the evening,
I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
Only me and the sky -- and an old whippoorwill
Singin' songs in the twilight on Mockin' Bird Hill
Neat picture, too. I love to add a moon here and there. 8)
