[egosbar]

trying out a new style for my bird photography , liking the results seems i come from a painting backround

c and c welcomed , any tips on textures would be appreciated these are my first ones

Those are just gorgeous, Ego! Way to go!

Yours reminds me of the work of a fairly well known contemporary woman photographer (...whose name I've momentarily forgotten) who specializes in putting cityscapes and fantasy-scapes on textured backgrounds (sometimes texturizes the buildings, as well), but, IMHO, yours are less brooding / ominous and more appealing. THIS is not her, but vaguely similar. I'll let you know if I think of her name because I think you might enjoy looking at her work.

Your work strikes me as something Louis Agassiz Fuertes might have done had he lived in the present era. Google { louis agassiz fuertes bird prints }.

I found the photographer I was thinking of that also uses a lot of textures.

It's:

Excellent work egosbar, love them all. I think the BG of the 4th image is my favorite, it looks like painted clouds.

Great work Ego, I find myself coming back to the last one more and more.

I'm with Ziped - if I had to pick one, it would be the last one. IMHO, it's the most painterly.

Cheers,

I still like the more washed out feel from the first one Ego. Harmonizes better in my opinion.
