The Art of Camoflauge

Been trying to get a photo of a roadrunner with food in its mouth and finally succeeded at the Rio Grande Nature Center. Played with different filters and kind of liked this result but afraid the camo background may overwhelm the subject?

Wow, nice photo Sally. I'm quite surprised i'm the first to comment this. For me, I wouldn't have bothered with a filter, but this is unique and I can't say it takes much away from the photo. Thats an awesome bird, classic pose as well! Good work :toast:

Sweet shot! I like the effect here but I have to admit that considering the drama in the image I would rather see the original shot. :wavey:

Wow, Sally! What a great shot of the Roadrunner! Very impressive timing and a great find. I think the filter on the bg fits right in with the characteristics of the bird and all. I think this is a very creative, artistic presentation. What fine work.
