*I tried 5 or six times to post this (same size) before I was finally successful. It was coming out way to big and I sent it in at 500x622.
It's finally showing at the right size.....and it's still 500x622. I have no idea what went wrong?


The other day I was out taking shots of the sun streaming through the clouds after a rainstorm. When I first looked at this I thought of God's eye watching over us with Heavenly light streaming out of it. Upon closer examination when I got home I saw a bird???s head with an eye and his mouth wide open. I imagined Nature herself in the form of a bird looking down on the disastrous oil spill. She was madly squawking at us to fix this terrible mistake.



This is a mixed media with sky and ocean. I took an ocean shot and gradually added transparency to sections of the water, from the sky to the ocean. I applied more darkness to the dark spots of the water to make it look like oil. I hope what you see is the bird looking down on this oily mess, squawking in anger and distress.

Joined two cropped pictures (sky and ocean) sectioned ocean in layers of transparency, blackened water in dark areas to create oil look
