Hi Don:

The shadows on these birds don't look quite right. Would I be wrong if I suspected they weren't actually in this scene originally?

Nice to see you around btw - haven't seen you much lately.

No the birds were there alright. I felt I had to try to make them more visible against the background so I drew out these shadow lines and created an area of blur around parts of them. It's a risky business.

I try to post a picture every day or so. It's been slow lately since I'm not out in the daily grind. I've also been concentrating a bit more on poetry.

Ah - very good. Sorry for my suspicion on the ducks. When you fake as many photos as I do - you see signs of it everywhere...

Here is a reworking of the photo to reduce the funny shadow effect.
