 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 :)

Other worldly! Great capture and perfect placement of the moon. Love the two diagonals crossing just off center.

Cool! Great shot of the bird and pretty good fancy-pants editing. I like how the flood flooded out the side borders. Clever!

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.

I'm in awe.

WOW! Amazing shot of that gorgeous bird, and the addition of the pale moon and calm water makes it look magical, like a fairy tale!

I like this a lot! It just has the 'other worldly' feel like an old sci-fi cover and is graphical almost to Pan Am poster levels. Super!

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.
