Like what you have done with these Joe!! Fantastic effect, really like the owl!!
Thanks for sharing!!


It was a one-click effect in Smart Photo Editor.
When I was a little kid, those rooms with the stuffed animals always freaked me out.
They still do.
The taxidermy holds up pretty well, but it's basically DEAD animals, no matter how you dress it up.
So I went for a different look, and I like it better like this!

Thanks for the surprise visit, Trans

Been there. Your perspective is better than mine was.

Did you see the two male lions that were portrayed on the movie Ghosts in the Dark? (I think that’s the name). Those were the lions that were actively hunting humans in Africa. They aren’t as large as they were originally. I guess the hides were displayed for years and the edges damaged, so they had to downsize them.

From their taxidermied collection of specimens.

I've given my shots a different treatment to avoid that "stuffed" look

From about ten years ago, Jim. Hard to get that close to taxidermied animals without getting that "dead" look, so I added an effect to mitigate that

Thanks for the visit

I hope they don't eventually do that to ME

I appreciate that My friend still has a Trans-Am he bought waaay back, the one where you could get a giant decal of an eagle on the hood. Always in the garage and in mint condition. He has a Chevy Suburban that he drives daily, about 20+ years old, and this thing also looks like new. Not an ounce of rust on it and clean as a whistle
