[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is Birdy !

He belongs to my daughter Demi (6) and we found him on a flea-market. Demi always wants 'him' to stand in the window of her room, so he can see the other birds.

I removed with PSP his one leg so he more or less 'floats' now and Demi is happy and proud Birdy
flies on the internet now to.

Bye guys, have a good weekend
Rob

Great picture, reminds me of Gatecrashers. Awesome Job!

|It does look if he is floating somewhere. The blurred green background emphasises the bird nicely.

Very nice bird,great clone job, good colors and pov. TFs,
Fran

Gave artistieke foto; mooi hangend in het frame. De vogel zou wat scherper kunnen.
Met USM heb ik het geprobeerd in de workshop.

Zo kan men de kinderen een plezier doen en er zelf deugd aan beleven
mooi

Sweet insight into your daughter, Rob. Six is such a great age.

This is humorous somehow, with Birdy looking up and away into the distance. He's not thinking of flying away, is he?

I like it very much.
Gayle :)

Excellent floating shot Rob,

Nicely composed.

Mooi van vorm en compositie Rob.
en de groetjes aan Demi.

Well done. In my opinion the outline of the bird is a bit overexposed. and it causes the bird to blend in too much with the background. The compo is good!

well composed photo Rob :)
good use of light here, good PP to make the bird "float" :)

Hi Rob, nice colors and contrast. Good sharpness on the bird. Good composition.

Bravo! See you on TL, Marie-José

Nice work, Rob with nice text written. Always nice to watch and read things specially done for children. Nice job.

Best regards,

Don

Very nice PP work, resulting to a very nice image. Very good blurred BG and collage.
I'm sure your little one is proud!

Rob,
Thanks for helping this bird to fly. He (it?) deserves it as all birds should. Nice job with PSP (isn't that a sony game thing?). I am not very good but I keep trying. :)
Keep shooting,
Aaron

I thought it was real until I opened it up. Maybe a bit more sharpness would have helped but it looks pretty good overall.

cute!

very good capture,

jaco

Hi Rob, Demi can be proud of her birdie's photo :)

Well done. Nice green bg.

Take care, Yan :)
