Dam Bird Folly - Does Anyone Else Make Stuff Up in PP?

Amazing what one can accomplish when they set their mind to it. Yours is an interesting composition. I almost missed the fish in the water and I'm glad I didn't leave without seeing it.
I do have a problem with the vase on the left and it is probably due to the top and the bottom having opposing rather than blending curvatures.
Time well spent with the dam bird composition.

Very interesting work. Reminds me of some of the stuff Monty Python used to do. Great Job!

Thanks! You're right about the vases not matching, one of several little problems in the whole thing, from color to lighting to the manhandling of the "props". The worst was trying to make that darned checkerboard carpet fit on a tilted concrete dam-chute!

It is fun sometimes to just let your imagination run wild...

Absolutely fantastic in every way. I'm a fan of surreal art and this is really a great example.

I was thinking Dali or Magritte. What a wonderfully professional job!

To think that all this started from you wondering what the bird was going to do with the fish in its mouth! I think it was really interesting that the Folly is an island sandwiched between to torrents. It's really good. You have raised the bar again. It is also neat to see the various ways you use your dam bird photos. Nicely done.

Minnie Sorry I am late to the visual feast of your dam folly, it does look full of dam fun. However I do woe the day you should fall in and leave us with none. I still have a side ache from perusing your wonderful and expansive plaything. Thanks for the good and fun work!!! RBorud

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. It looks like you are mixing photo components and non-photo graphic elements. That is something I'm trying to figure out, and it's harder than I expected. The dam bird shot incorporates both, and I was only able to conquer it by limiting the color palette rather severely. I'm fighting with a castle as we speak, trying to get art figures to inhabit a photograph. All tips appreciated!!
I really like the underwater one, and of course the sleeping butterfly. There are no limits, so I'm hoping we can all learn from each other in this wide-open area of interest.
One thing I've learned is that the skills I have to learn to create a fantasy world are the same skills that help me work on my traditional images more effectively, which turn out to be very easy by comparison!

I love PP work especially in Photoshop! This is exciting to me to see others unleashing their creative juices!
