What can only be described as an unlikely flying assemblage of oddly shaped and colored pieces: Roseate Spoonbill in breeding plumage returning to the Smith Oaks rookery at High Island, Texas.
Tough not to fall into kitsch while rendering a sunset's striking colors. Let's hope I didn't fail to hard with this picture taken a few days ago from the the stircage on my building's top floor. I whish I could have one of the appartmens there :)
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
The original photo was of a tacky statue that graced a hall on the cruise ship we traveled on to explore parts of Alaska. Personally, I feel that my Photoleap editing greatly improved its appearance.
Confession: I called it 'kitsch' because I changed the sky :( It's so easy nowadays that the temptation gets harder and harder to resist...
In my defence (in case you really do accuse me):
1. I liked the wildflowers and grasses foreground, but the sky was too dull
2. I used a sky shot by myself in this same area, with the same phone. (Even at similar near-sunset time of day, although the observant will find some discrepancy in lighting, despite my 're-lighting' attempts in Luminar)...
Anyway - this may not win any NatGeo competitions, but I like it enough to keep (and share - and maybe even frame it on a wall ;)
(Did I mention I like kitsch?)
When I bought this painting, I did it just for fun, because it was the time, when I loved Feininger and Cezanne.
I still love Feininger and Cezanne, but now I also love this kitsch painting.
in a beautiful region in Luxembourg. The waterfall itself is highly visited and so kitsch and well-worn paths and waste is all around. I tried to catch a pano, Brenizer way alike. The landscape around is well worth a hike...

The ridiculousness of the idea that one could cross the Alps on a noble steed, performing feats if necessary, shows the kitschy nature of this painting, of which, to make matters worse, there are even five versions in total. In reality, Napoleon crossed the Alps on a mule, which is not ridiculous at all, but simply sensible. But unfortunately, these reliable animals are not suitable for propagandistic hyping.
