Total Eclipse

No, you didn't miss a major astronomical event. This image is 5% photography (silhouette of a sphere for the planet) and 95% Photoshop (everything else you see). Just experimenting. Not overly happy with the result. Needs a bit more work at the point where the sun is breaking over the planet, but I really need to get off my arse and do something more productive around the house. Diana knows me too well to moan - it has the opposite effect, but I could swear she is sending me telepathic messages because my conscience is bothering me. I reckon she has found a way to control it silently.

One becomes none. Discovered another pile of pigeon feathers in the garden yesterday. Looks like the sparrowhawk has made our garden his hunting ground. Bad news for the local bird population.

Don't forget the September technique challenge which starts tomorrow. It would be nice to have company.
