this one isn't as good as the last one and I consider it a failure. I'm not even sure where I went astray, but it is having problems that I just can't recognize (comes form working on an image for more than 45 minutes). Same perch as the last, single bird - composite with itself. I lost control when I tried to get a background into the blown out white, and things just weren't blending right. But practice is practice right?
Failures are allowed and expected!
Well if you are looking for help in confirming this as a failure....I am not your guy. I think the background works very well. I do understand the relationship between getting lost and the amount of time spent searching for the right look, it happens to me a lot!
