Braveheart
« on: January 10, 2017, 07:39:58 »
"Braveheart" was the first name that came to mind when thinking of a title for this composite image. Made from two "sandwiched" black and white slides of many years ago (when such film was more common)  with some very poor post processing in those days.

Combining elements that are so diametrically opposite sometimes works to momentarily stir the senses. The little guy seems to be on a short lived soapbox to his singular audience.

Almost a Chorus Line............animal behaviour can so often appear to mimic human behaviour like this recalcitrant fellow on the right.

Dramatic and pleasantly deceptive B&W image!

The color image reminds me of "birds of a feather flock together", but it is more of a fun rather than the sterile old saying.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for looking in Akira. Your well known saying would have been a great alternative title to the second image - although it would to go that 'not all birds of a feather necessarily stick together'.

LOL, Mongo!  Some species of birds of a feather would instinctively flock together.  But personally I would avoid flocking together with similar people.  I'm more interested in and attracted to different people and things.  :D

Brave little guy  :)

  Kudos for making a whole new story by the combination.


   Both posted images show a sensitive nature that gets to the viewer.

Thanks Pedro and LOL.

Mongo should have asked others to 'caption this image'. Mongo is sure there would be some interesting suggestions both from the eagle's point of view and also from the courageous little guy.
