What Love will Bring.... [Digital Darkroom]
Uploaded: November 17, 2004 19:34:10
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.

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! #925929
