What Love may Bring....


	What Love will Bring.... Was a photo of one Blue Jay on a fence to which I Layered, Feathered and Merged Bird parts from several other Blue Jay photos to construct the other four birds, and Presto!... it's the family he never knew he had! Used the distort tool to give the kids the funky hair styles to add a bit of a fun element to it. Eric Highfield

This is just to cute,,,very eye catching in the thumbnails...WoW that sounds like it was a lot of work too...
Except for the fact that they just look like smaller adult bluejays,,,they almost look real to someone who didn't know birds...very very cute...

Thanks eveyone, your comments are greatly appreciated!!

Debbie, you've given me an idea. If I ever get in to mood to do a revision, I'll increase the size of the eyes on the babies by about 10%, and add a few tufts of downy feathers poping out at random places and see how that looks. It should make the little ones appear more genuinely babyish. Thanks!

Very cute idea and excellently executed (if not biologically correct, but oh well...) I love the title and the composition! Excellent!

Thanks, Pam! He he he... I guess you can't fool an Ecologist!! We can take comfort in the fact that these unusual Blue Jays were the product of a digital manipulation and not a genetic one! :-)
