I take pictures of anything and everything, except people. If I take pictures of people, it has to be a candid shot. Can't do portrait photography. It has to be a picture for me, not for them.

Russ... That's really interesting in that I spent the last 40 years photographing men playing indoor soccer and women practicing yoga. I never take landscape pictures. Each to his own, I say. That's what keep life interesting. Do you have suggestions how I can improve my humor in this shot I edited yesterday?

I think your shot and humor are great. Gave me some ideas, so thanks!
I have lots of pictures of things like parades and sports. Again, though, they are for me, not the parade or sports participants. In the picture here, the pianist is my husband. None of these three people know that I took this picture. They were the first to perform in the auditorium at the new huge & beautiful San Diego Central Library in 2013.
We probably should take our discussion somewhere else so we don't take over the OP's discussion.

I assumed you used a layer mask to isolate the subject, so the hand work would be painting in the mask with a black brush to hide the unwanted part or with a white brush to show the wanted part.

In an attempt to concentrate on developing my own photographic abilities and to avoid wasted time quibbling about illegal, copyrighted backgrounds advertised as "free" on the internet, I am going back-ground-less for the time being. I have beautiful birds in my backyard who beauty cries out to me to take their picture. So I am obliging. Hope you enjoy my latest attempt. Please feel free to make suggestions and download my image to show me your ideas. Shooter41
Fantastic Image!!! great detail as well as artistic.
This is the kind of image that should be shown in reference books.
I spent over an hour yesterday trying to identify one shot of Moss and a second of Lichen due to poor images,
Images were not very sharp or well lit.
