Magnificent capture!! #2372530Mary N C. Taitt February 03, 2006
Thank you very much Shelly and Goshka for your kind comments. The bird belongs to my daughter-in-law, Laura, and is actually green--I did a hue slider on it for the pink and purple monthly theme. The fruit is a red grape. He loves fruit. #2372565Mary N C. Taitt February 03, 2006

Fantastic photo Mary. Beautiful colors for the bird. Love the photoshop work. I just love the software programs. #2374397Roxanne M. Bubar February 04, 2006
Mary I am so glad you put in the before image. Fantastic image and use of effects. Well done. #2376199Mary N C. Taitt February 04, 2006
Thank you Kate, Kay and Roxanne for your kind and generous comments. That before picture was not the same picture I worked from--but it is the same bird. What I mean is, I didn't crop him out of a small part of a much larger picture. :-) Mary :-D #2376647Laura Clay-Ballard February 04, 2006
