In the Spirit of Silly Tuesday...

Looks like a meeting of the cardinal boy's club. Playing around with Photoshop. This is actually 4 separate photos of the same bird combined.

*Yard Art Series: photos from the backyard.

Focales from Rhône-Alpes, France

Really a beautiful birds !

13 Aug 2013 5:12am

@Focales: It's really all the same bird - combined 4 shots with Photoshop. ;-)

Jypyä Pop from Turku, Finland

Sometimes it is nice to sit talking to the girls so that they do not he. I know that. I was a boy almost hounred years a go.

Devi from Chennai, India

@Julie L. Brown: Thanks!

J.R. from Urasoe City, Japan

Super seeing 4 at a time is neat great timing; seeing the barbed wire are they jailbirds?

13 Aug 2013 11:15am

@J.R.: There is just one bird, repeated with Photoshop. Yes, I think he is a jailbird. ;-))

saman from qazvin, Iran

Loner from Wörgl, Austria

At first I'm almost pale with envy - until I have read of your photoshop work. I would have been happy to see ONE !

13 Aug 2013 11:50am

@Loner: ;-)))

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

What a beautiful creation using only one bird!! You had me fooled for a moment there. I thought, "How could so many cardinals enjoy perching on barbed wire?" A great ST contribution!

13 Aug 2013 12:21pm

@Steven: ;-))

Joyce from Montana, United States

fun and catchy faces. I can see why super priests are called cardinals. Or the football team, or is it baseball...oh I'm digging a hole and falling in. But really what astounds me is that this really credible image is p'shopped! And you have quite mastered it.

13 Aug 2013 12:29pm
