this is my snawk picture. i call it this because it is a combination of a snake and hawk. i like the way this picture turned out, it has a nice background and vibrant colors. i used curves and exposure to change the tones and brightness of the picture. a difficult part for me was blending the wings and head into the snake scales. the fur of the hawk and snake scales are very different and contrast each other. i think i did a decent job of blending them together to make it some what natural.
if i could go back i might not have changed the head into a hawks head and kept it as a snake head. the hawks head looks out of place in my opinion but i wanted more of a combination of the two animals. i used the magic select tool to delete all the other parts behind the two animals and used the stamp tool to copy the snake scales to blend them into the winds and head. i also used the erase to the make the two blend better.
