 Not sure what kind of a bird this is, maybe cormorant? Anyway, I've always loved roz's pelican images where she duplicates one pelican like this

This image is my inspiration, although I only added one duplicate bird. Maybe I'll try a version with more...
Processing:
Copy bird from other image and paste into this image, clean up edges
Crop
Color Efex Pro tonal contrast filter
Adjust Hue/Saturation
Resize
pixelpig's cool frame layer in overlay mode

Love the watery greens in this--lovely w/that frame. Well done (though the original is also lovely). I'm glad you post your steps, it makes interesting reading.
