Both pictures taken with a Fuji A600 Compact Camera and merged together in Picasa 3.

Adam Bykowski
Since I’m the 53rd commenter, I’d say you already have your answer as to whether you did well or not. Cool idea of blending those two images together. The placement of the birds against the moon works well. Even though the wings are blurred, the image works very well. congrats on all the nice comments you’re getting.
naturelover replied
Sorry for the delay Adam, I did say I was the worlds worst at bird shots- LOL – so I am pleased how this turned out, and that you like it- very many thanks!!!
