This is amazing! I have a couple of pieces of J. Wedgewood from my grandmother and this definitely says Wedgewood. I truly love that you were able to create such a beautiful picture by making the right adjustments. I love this. Thank you for sharing. Happycamper

A lovely white silhouette of a sweet bird. I really love the details of the branches and the circular pattern of the frame. Excellent work.

How very nice to see something original. And it does not scream "post processing". Just a lovely piece of art. Very true to what little I know about Wedgwood. The color is wonderful and the pattern perfectly balanced and extremely pleasant to look at. Very, very, nice work.

    Thanks a million for your positive review on this little singing Dunnock at twilight that I turning into a negative & then coloured it blue THAT's all I did,
    I could have brightened the silhouette to show the bird in more detail but that would have ending up as you say shouting Digital image with little relationship to the poor bird added to which I know very little about the manipulations needed nor do I wish to know.

Very clever and creative of you to use a bird photo in this manner. Having spent some time outdoors recently looking at bare branches, I appreciate the authenticity of your branches. They look real---and a bit disheveled---as many trees do in winter. My only hair-splitting suggestion is that if the bird were NOT dead center, the picture would be more interesting. Move him a couple inches to the right since he has plenty of viewing room.

Nice shot, and wonderful use of that pastel color.You can imagine him singing with his little mouth slightly open. The tree branches grounds him nicely and a great composition overall. Nice job!

    I heard it singing sometime before I managed to see it high in a tall tree above me.

This negative space image looks amazing. The color of purple that you chose looks beautiful with the white. You were very creative once again :) Thanks again for sharing :)

I think this looks great! Very clever and interesting to view. The result is artistic. I think the 'Wedgwood' blue was a good choice of color and I like how it fits into the title and story. It also looks very nice against the white.
