Something I've been playing with for awhile after discovering the original name for a Kestrel is the Windhover

That can be done in Elements or CS2. It's a brillient Idea and would make a nice Christmas card or any type card. I make all my own cards. Thanks That's food for thought.

My version was in CS2 with various layers but not difficult to do in any photo packge

[Beryl]

Yes your right of couse.
I normaly use CS2. which is insalled (by my son) in my other PC Also some of the work could be done in DTP and put together with a photo pkg. But it is a very good idea.I am going to make one or two for my personal friends who like wildlife.

Lovely Kev. That sort of thing can also be done in plain ol' Word. I did one very successfully for my mothers birthday last year using Westminster Bridge.. the poem and a pic.

Yeas and for those who can't write poetry, they could just put a few words or a little story of where and how they captured it on camera.

or they could use a quote , which is what kev has done here , "the windhover" being a relatively well known poem by gerard manley hopkins , written in the mid 1800s

Well. That is a good idea too as long as the poet is given credit
I Have a very nice photo of a Kinhgfisher sitting in the middle of the brook on a diagonaly poised cain , reflection as well, with a large fish in his beak and a super poem to go with it. Think I try that one.

Here is a post card I have made and sent to one or two of my friends. It is very easy and can be done with all sorts of wildlife photos.

Wow Beryl I got your postcard this morning.What a lovely surprise.I really like it looks very professional.I think I will find a little frame for that and put it somewhere on my desk(if I can find room it needs a thorough tidy up) Well done.I love the ripples on the water and the Kingfisher stands out well it is very pretty thank you
