Birds of a Feather

I got a little bit ahead of myself on this one, as the challenge hasn't started yet, but I'd seen at the Three Muses blog. It was actually a sneak preview for the upcoming challenge, but I ran with the idea and created the picture below. I don't participate in all challenges, as sometimes I just can't seem to get the right ideas, or sometimes I start and the whole thing falls flat, and I abandon it. Anyhow, I hope I can remember to link it when their next challenge is finally announced.

I was just about to explain the picture, but decided that it's always best if the viewer draws his/her own conclusions.

All the elements are from my photos, including the cooperative mockingbirds. (Actually, it's only two birds.)

  5. Why explain? The best thing about a picture such as this is that it sends us all into our own imaginations and different directions. I love the magnifying bubble and the surreal and whimsical take on the theme. Wonderful work!!

  6. This is such fun, Deborah. It has a lovely surreal "flavor", and surreal needs no explanation. It just is in the eye of the artist at the moment. Thanks for sharing this flight of fantasy with us!!
