I'll go first: there's a new video tutorial on the Xone

It's worth working through if you ever wanted to do some fun, fairly photorealistic retouching.
Okay, it's your turn.

My first attempt at Birdhaus, learned a little more from this first part :D

Seems a bit of centre this first image, uploaded image 2, sorry about that.

You show inventiveness!
Good submission, very original!
I've been known to get the bird from people over the years.
My Best,

Great submissions from Stygg and Germaine!
I did this one making use of the eraser tool that is new in DPX and P&GD2013 The eraser tool when used with a soft nib makes it easy to blend photos together, I tucked a couple of bird houses behind branches by first cloning the background photo, then drawing a shape around the branch that I wanted to be over the bird house and select shape and cloned photo and ctrl +3. Then I went in with the eraser tool with a very soft nib and erased around the edges of the clipped branch and erased between the leaves etc so you could see the bird house peeking through.
Another technique I used was to adjust the lighting and add a bit of blur to the smaller birdhouses that I tucked behind branches to add to the illusion that they are further away.
Really great image Francis, looks like I'm missing out on a lot by not upgrading but I'm weakening by the image! :D
Stygg
Very funny, Frances!
:)
Toucan play this game, you know!

Ok here is the bird bath photo. I used the magic erase tool to remove the toucan all in one go and it worked better than I thought it would. I used a combination of magic erase and manual cloning to repair the bird bath and fix the surface of the water. I also made use of the right click flatten trick and I also used the shape builder with a very soft nib on the mask layer and adjusted the hue of the water to help blend my cloning.
Of course I couldn't resist adding Mr Toucan back in another spot (Hey I think he's cute) and a butterfly fluttered into the scene! :D
That's actually very good, Frances.
Bravo!
I disagree with the scale of the butterfly, but I'll lean toward "fantasy composition" here.
