I'm with you Penny, it does look better with the half bird, so the original is coming back :)

Thanks Penny for your input.

I like it better without the 3/4 bird, aam. This is good. Stark and good. ~Lydia

Looks like a less cluttered frame from the Hitchcock movie. Effective in a way.. with Hitch in mind... or without. -tv

Oh. Rod suks (kidding).

Penny, please re-consider. Take a long breath then look again. You might change your mind. "might" is the key word here.

NO! I like it better at two and whatever it was! (even though it looks as if I'm out-voted)

Rod's suggestion does make it look better. Thanks again, mate.
aam1234 25-Jan-2008 17:35
Didn't think of that. Will try it and see how it goes. Thanks mate.

Well done Aamm this is different mate & as Carole said the 3/4 bird does add tension, maybe a bit too much tension:-) Even though I'm against using the clone tool & only use it on 2/3 of me picys I would clone that top bugger out. This picy looks really good.
aam1234 25-Jan-2008 16:22
Ha ha, more like 2 & 3/4 :)
ctfchallenge25-Jan-2008 14:11
OK. It's really only two and a half birds.

Thanks, CJ. This is how I captured those sukers. It wasn't easy, I tell you. They are so damn fast!
ctfchallenge25-Jan-2008 00:20
Aaaam - very artsy looking shot! Did you purposely cut off the top bird? It might look better with the whole bird...... but then again, maybe not - it adds tension. :-) CJ

Thanks, Penny Street. Didn't expect anyone to like it. Glad you did.
