Mugged... What do you do with your photos?
So, no, this is not a single image. It would be nice if I could but I haven't been so lucky in real life to see such an interesting mix... The photo is a composite of three images of Sandhill Cranes that I put together using Photoshop and this image is purpose made to go onto a ceramic photo mug. It took some work to clean up - separate the edges of the larger birds in the image from the background. It helps to build a panoramic image to wrap around the mug and since you can't see much of the mug at a glance it helps to have interesting things to see as you turn the mug in your hands. I've found these photo mugs to be excellent gifts and a great way of sharing my images and I only order mugs when they're discounted. I thought I'd share this with my friends on Flickr.
The closeup head shot was taken at Homer, Alaska, while the other two were taken at Creamer's Field in Fairbanks, Alaska.
