BD, very nice and very creative. I am curious what you used to tie them all together.

Simple but rather time consuming. I chose the image with the most sky and least bird, cut out the bird and cloned in the remaining white area and duplicated it 12 times, then cloned a decent blend so overall it looked fairly realistic. Next, using the quick select tool and the refine edge tool I selected each of the movements and loosely placed them on the new sky until I was satisfied with the placement in regards to how he looked as I shot the sequence. When placing each bird in the sequence, I defringed each by 2 pixels to omit any hard edges. I started way big at 112 inches wide by 12 inches high then dropped it to 240 dpi and 66 inches.

Thanks, sounds like as lot of work that paid off with a very interesting piece of art. Now all you have to do is find a frame to put it in and a wall to hang it on.
