I have a long history of taking mediocre bird photos with crummy lens and lack of patience, I’ve put together images from Israel to Alaska that are breathtakingly dull and out-of-focus. but I do have photoshop skills, so my choice was either to cut my throat in photo envy and self-loathing, or breathe new life into the bad photos with considerable “painting”, merging and touch-up, and voila: part painting, part photography.
