B&W and Red all over

I took a class for handpainting Black and Whites, but I have now

learned to do this through Photoshop7. Comments please!

Normally I don't go for bird shots because they are so common, but this is truely unique. I love that you included the feeder and that it has an unreal red glow to it. Makes me think of what the bird might be attracted to.

I think this a good way to have a man made object with nature. I would clone out the dirt on the tip of the feeder.

Title is funny.

Thanks Ron and LeAnn!! LeAnn I don't know if you noticed, but I'm for Minnesota and I see you were born and raised here! I had intended to clone out the dirt, but when I finished the color I was anxious to submit my photo. I guess I need to learn to slow down Huh!! Here's a dirt free image.......

Great shot!

Oh wowww no I hadn't noticed! I am now looking through your gallery and immediately recognized the Ren.Fest and the Mn zoo. I lived in Elk River until I was 20. Good to meet you:-)

Oh and yes great touch up on the feeder.

Call me nuts but I love evrything about this shot except the touch up. Hummingbirds are blessed with some very beautiful colors given to them by nature, why obscure them on purpose? I could see the background being obscured on purpose but the bird itself? That being said I love the compositon, and the idea is very unique.
