    Default Silhouette of Tree & Raven

    The original image (taken with a 200mm lens) had a boring grey background so I merged the silhouette with another shot I had taken the same day with a macro lens of a deliberately out-of-focus pinkish apple blossum. I played with the hue and saturation and here is the result.

    I really like what you have done with this Doug. I am just wondering if it may be more effective flipped horizontally. Just a thought!

    What a really cool result. It would make an awesome book cover or something. Nicely done.

    Thanks, everyone, for the comments. Runmonty, after trying your suggestion - flipping the image horizontally - the original orientation works best for me, but thanks anyway.

    The more I look at it, the more I agree with you. It was just a thought when I first looked at it. Hope I didnt offend. It is a really cool image.

    Love this image Doug, and hope you framed it.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    Well done.
