Nice, like the Bauble, although I think the image could be mapped onto the surface better.

Beautiful alc. I love all the wildlife you have captured on your property, inside looking out and outside looking in.

Nice work Alc59. How did you do the buble?

@Carlos... If you have MathMap, this tutorial by Photo Master was very good for making Christmas Ornaments, I made several of the mathmap part in different metals and saved them. It is a good tutorial.viewtopic.php?p=3738#p3738

The images look nice, but the bird looks pasted in to me, some blending of the bird and it's background maybe?

Pasted? That's how the camera took it, only thing i did was levels-auto

Sorry... It's hard to tell sometimes, I didn't realize that it was an actual photo.

Cardinals irl are ridiculously red. We get them here, they definitely stand out.

You are right there EK. They usually head for the pine trees behind my house and they show right through the branches, very pretty.

Yah, when they fly through the yard it looks like someone shot ketchup across the bushes.
