Over on Create 52 (on FB, I recommend it to challenge your imagination for shots to take.) Last week's theme was "the golden mean" and this week is "swirls".

This little guy finished tanking up and actually followed this path and was in the position the head is in now. I used the "liquefy" brush and distorted the body back in a reverse swirl to the starting point. Darkened the back ground to remove the patterns of a shadowed fence and tweaked the colors in the green and gold spectrum a bit.

Canon 80D, Tamron 150-600 G2 @ 600, 1/3200 @ f/6.3, ISO-3200
off a tripod through a double pane glass door (too hot to keep door open and opening it usually scares off the birds for a while)

Wow that was a surprise! Not the kind of pictures I expect from you. Good imagination and very nicely done.

Thanks

I venture into the realm of the Artiste now and then. Go to Face Book and look at the things people post on Create 52, imaginative and beautiful a lot of the time.

Well I don't use the social media side of FB, I just belong to 5 of the photography groups and avoid all the rest. I also don't tweet or tik tok or any of the others.

I don't even much like texting although I use it when I need to. You want to talk to me just call me and we can talk.

Thank you. Enjoy - tip - I make a virtual copy in LR to play around with, less endless history of the developing to wade through. If I really hate it I can just remove/delete it and the original is still there.
