Where do I get my feathers to do work like this !!!!
I like this one. I would have liked it better in B/W I think but that,s a personal preference.
Cheers

"GROOVY"....am I going to have to rename you Austin Powers? LOL

You have me worried about the cyan as I don't see it on mine, will see if anyone else mentions it

Great to catch up as I have had to be absent for a while and need to get back into the groove.LOL

Hi XP1....I would love to send you a couple of Guinnea Fowl feathers, but I think that might be illegal....although we haven't had bird flu here yet!

I did try a B/W conversion but it didn't work for me, you are very welcome to play with it if you want.

like it as it is Di. colour looks fine on my screen and i think if you made it black and white the shot would lose it's depth. good job we all like different things though, makes the world go round :-)

Thanks Lisa ..I'm pleased you like it. You are right about the black and white it did lose depth even though I pumped up the volume so to speak.

cyan, cyan, cyan, cyan, cyan, cyan, cyan and by the way did I mention cyan?
Ps. there does not appear to be anything wrong with the colour, I just wanted to mention cyan. LOL. By the way, a great image and imaginative use of your props.
