One Pigeon.
Photographers Comments
Never attempted anything like this before.
I was shooting pigeons the other night and couldnt decide which to upload, so I thought Ill do a few.
Theyre a bit small at 800px wide, but it was worth a go.
Each on a separate layer and used a soft eraser to blend together.
50 million pixels into 142,400 lol.

Very effective Merv and well thought out, great job, although you did worry me at first when you said you were shooting pidgeons the other night!

Hi Merv,
for a first attempt this has turned out very successfully. The blending has worked very well and the spacing between each is spot on. I would have liked to see a little more space at either end so the crop was not so tight, but that is just me. Top marks mate...

Hi all,
thanks for lokoing and commenting.
Bev, I always find the term "shooting babies" a bit odd lol.
Phil, I totally agree, and there was plenty of space, but to keep the bird as large as possible at 800px, I cropped it very tight.

I like this composition in the fact it is quite unusual. Nice work mate.
PS
I could shoot your pigeons again for you if you wanted. I have some fireworks they could fly through as well.
Talking of fireworks I have used one of your shots in my latest upload "splash of speed".
Cheers

Cheers mate,
I have just realized it may look better mirrored.
I thought you may have, but there is plenty going on in that one of yours.
