It's amazing what one can do with Adobe Photoshop Elements software. It enabled me to frame the picture and put the bird in the sunset. Thanks so much for viewing the post and giving feedback. Hope you're a careful rider!
Thanks for the great feedback! The urn served me well when I was in a camera club. Images of models holding it got high scores. Wish I could post some but they're slides.
The kitties in your avatar look so regal and beautiful. I'm sure they have unique names.
Nice of you to view my posts and I appreciate your nice comments. It's chilly here in my neck of the woods - how's the weather in yours?
The Japanese Gardens recently opened in the Fredrik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids. If you google it
you will find info on it's size, the creator, etc.

I have plenty of weeds! This urn is one of my favorite props.

If I can't get to the zoo or there's no wild life in sight and my shootin' finger is itchin' - I create still life images.

Thank you, Carol and photophile. They are not as colorful as most feathered friends but present an appearance of gentleness and charm.
Glad you enjoyed my post!
Deliver on Poe Street? Glad you like it. There are many beautiful sunsets on Lake Michigan. I go to the lake every time I get the chance.
It was a cold day Nov 9, 2014 when my daughter and I ventured out hoping to find a glorious sunset. We were not disappointed. I had fun creating this image with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Wish I could say the bird was mine but it was in PS.

The mourning dove - lovely beauty who comes to visit me
What a pleasure it is such a feathered friend I get to see
Pretty Feathered Friend
I'm lucky to have a pair of cardinals come to my feeder. The males seem to say "Look at me - look at me - I'm so handsome."

Now that I think about it - it was not a good image to begin with and nothing I did helped. I'll be getting back to John Ball in the near future and will try to
get a better shot. Need to pay more attention to camera settings. Really appreciate your offer to help it, but I thinks it's a 'lost cause.' What does OOC mean, please?
