The Turkeys are just great, Rich.
But, may I ask, if they are visiting from the 'no shadow' land?!

Sort of like those things that don't come with batteries. Shadows sold separately.

maybe those turkeys just gobbled up the shadows!

I like the image rich, and a .xar file to pull apart too! thank you.

The non shadow version. I photoed these across the street when it was shady. I used an HDR program to bring up the color.

Javier,

The turkeys were visitors from a neighbors yard. I photographed them and separated them in Xara and saved to PNG/alpha. I also saved the vector objects. I used an Akvis HDR plugin that runs in Xara to bring out the color. It was a dark day ant the images looked almost black.

The Mastadon was grayscale clipart that I had made bitmap transparent in Xara. This also allowed me to contone recolor light and dark to black. It was undercolored with chrome environments in E3. i.e. coloring vector objects with an image source. It's a lost art, but something I spent years developing the resources.
