Another image...[again..not distorted in any unnatural way]....it is just the pure effect of the water rolling off this beast..! Eyes may be drawn towards the more dolphin-like profile on the raising swell towards right of picture...[however..if you look to left of picture...you will see the piercing dark eye]!

Watching this thread with interest; liking :t:

Agree with Tim and Nick re the Skua, although I think it a slight shame it got morphed into an upside-down Hoopoe - the original is far too worthy on its own. (Also gettting a worrying feeling from the following images in post 29 - look more like scary porkers (animal farm nightmare?) to me ...!! )

Some captivating images at any rate .. the earlier owls especially ;)

Before you leave owls for waters totally new, I have one 'altered' image if you would like/don't mind that I post?? ... (not quite in the same vein, or quality, but hey ... ;) )

Cool Great White pics User......looks like we'll be heading there September-ish....as to the the previous postings...cool! Loved the original pencil skua - who'd've thought you had talent eh???? ha ha ;) Did you really draw the wrinkly old dude too???

Scary porkers...? [chuckle]....tis all in the eye of the beholder this 'art-lark' Danthe!...and actually...it's all part of the interest, to me anyway, how folk interpret images....etc...
All good fun...and speaking of which..please do feel free to contribute with any images...or comments...that you might have....more the merrier!

Great stuff Ads...roll on September-ish eh?....[dam...whenever i think of great whites i just wanna go back there]. Try and leave a few open windows..[so to speak]...regards dates on which to go sharking in South Africa. Can be a bit like organizing pelagics...all weather dependent...[when we went the sharky bloke told us that the previous week bad weather had scuppered some folks trips]...!
Guaranteed you will run out of superlatives if you clap eyes on Jaws!!....i was on cloud nine..[possibly even cloud ten]!...after the 'experience'...

ps...yes..i did draw the wrinkly old bloke;)...in carandache...[have i spelt that right]?...i could even show you a self portrait o mine....but i won't...because it will look tooo frightening...perhaps i will draw myself with a bag on me head....B :)
 
That face was damned good mate, really!! Never been good at people, especially when it came to adding colour to the portrait...top stuff! Sharks have me a-drooling already!
 
what a pleasure User - keep 'em coming



watch your timings Ads- I believe GWS get harder to connect with from Sept- still there, but closer inshore in murkier water rather than concentrated around the seal buffet

Glad that you are enjoying the images Ed...! That is good to know...as at times i do think...'how the heck are folk going to react to this sort of stuff'..?
I will keep mixing and matching my postings...maybe some more 'old originals'...maybe just landscape type photos...[which i love]...i may even bung up a few old pen and ink cartoons that i used to do!

As i've been a tad busy today and well away from a PC...i haven't had a chance to do anything new as such. Tho....keeping in 'quiz mode' for a bit i have just remembered an image i made a few days ago. Tis an 'enhanced' photo' image taken in Peru...[and actually there is a bird in it]...!
It was a terrible photo taken thru me scope using my mobile phone...and instead of deleting it i decided to have a bit of fun with it to see 'what happened'.....

ps...no-one will guess what the bird is i'm fairly sure!....[if they do then i will award a non-existent prize].....

pps...have you seen GWS Ed...?

For bird fans who don't like the subjects distorted in any way;)....here's a few pieces of artwork concerning 'Groundrollers'.....[fantastic birds...not that i've seen 'em]...just a bit expensive to visit their native country !

ps...forgive the dusty appearance of images....they are all on one 'plate' and behind glass....[has hung on my wall now n again]...but i get bored so i stick picture away somewhere...[perhaps i think that like a 'wine'...it will improve with age]...;)

Cheers MaddMark..!;)

I do actually have some images..[ink stuff]...that are purely..'dots'...chuckle!

As for the 'guess' of Diademed Plover....keep 'pressing n guessin'....it's a good guess...but not right...! [neither is 'collared dove' Adey]!

ps....Mr.McMadd.....if you go to Rutty birdfair next year get 'Rockfowl' Mark to tell you about my artistic tendencies.....[who knows....maybe i'll stick some of my bizarre images on T-shirts just to see if there are folk 'out there' warped enuff to wear 'em]....;)

pps...Rockfowl is currently looking...[or rather hoping]...to see giant pitta in Thailand at mo....[he's doin well with some pitta species...but still not seen the jolly 'giant']...!
 
I said it was a crap photo.....! [That's why i turned it into 'Least Seedsnipe by Moonlight]...;)

[Quizzes to one side]!....here's an interesting image....'constructed' from some original artwork of mine last night......
