Looks very nice.

Have you considered using a small photo softbox to photograph your work?

It would allow you to isolate the subject, remove distracting external objects and allow you to experiment with lighting.

Keep posting your art, I think it's great.

Thankyou very much for your advice, I was thinking if i get enough together a professional photographer might do the lot in one go ( be too much if he charged for each bird separate , I will look up info about photo soft box ). I know this sounds odd but when I look at them they often look better than the photo ( apart from the odd disaster )
Cheers

Hi Annmaria,

You can pick up a softbox for less than £10.00.

I bought one from Maplins, which has a 2 colour reversible background cloth, it does a great job.

It may work out less expensive than hiring a pro photographer and would be available for future use.

Maplins I think there is one around here some where, I am definitely going to pay a visit.
Thank you once again, I ( think ) I will post the results. LOL
