Clever idea - original. May be slightly over exposed but I actually like the effect.

A petty it's too bright. A nice concept though. It could be better if the light was a bit soft and didn't burn the coulors.

Clever idea. I think the first S is cut too short on the left side. It runs off the photo which leads my eyes off the photo too. Good luck :)

Extraordinary Beak of a Finch

Comment by skief:
Birds beaks do grow over time. Most of the time in the wild, their beaks are ground down from eating hard substances. This is why we normally put a cuttlebone or some other hard substance for them to work on in their cage to keep it down. However, there are times when it is necessary to trim the beak. Here are the steps...

Steps:
1. Refer to books or visit a well-managed zoo to learn the normal shape, length and unique function of your bird's beak.
2. Purchase a diamond nail file for smaller birds or a motor-driven hobby tool with a cone-shaped stone for large birds such as macaws.
3. Find a commercial styptic powder at a pet supply store, and ask the store owner or your veterinarian about proper usage.
4. Have an assistant help you restrain the bird's body, wings, feet and head so both of your hands are free.
5. Wear protective eyewear if using a power grinder.
6. Shape and reduce the length of the beak, taking care to smooth any damaged areas and file any cracks so they won't enlarge.
7. Consult your veterinarian to treat large cracks.
8. Trim carefully - underneath the "dead" horny covering of the beak is living tissue.
9. Avoid breathing the dust generated by filing the beak.
10. Clean the grinding tools after each use.

I dunno, the finch doesn't look very happy here! I like your idea, and the image quality is very good, and I'm sure you are very careful with the animal, but it does kind of look like you're crushing it. I'm not voting down for that or anything, just thought I'd let you know what people might think.

Beak needs a little trim. I have to say the bird is interesting, but the composition makes it seem like the head has been severed from the body of the bird.
