Two different applications of “merge” exist in this photo. First, I created a digital merge with two different photos to show movement of the chickadee – on and off the bird feeder. Second, I merged nature (the chickadee) and the performing arts (acrobatics) together into one concept. I then applied a texture for the background. The title I gave this image is “Avian Acrobat.”
When I saw the photo of the chickadee on the feeder, it gave me the thought of an acrobat with outstretched arms, trying to balance on a highwire. I used the photo of the chickadee flying down off the feeder to give the impression of someone falling off the highwire.
Anyway, it was a fun project.
This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is to see what you can
merge in a photo!

You combine both the texture and the imagery very well. I like how you merged them together!
Thank you, Dezra! What a nice comment! It was fun to work on.
Chickadees are the cutest little birds – wonderful picture!
Yes, aren’t they so cute? Thanks for your nice comment!
I agree with Dezra, you did wonderful work on these images…I appreciated the explanation for I would have not figured out the concept on my own….beautiful work.
Peace,

Thank you so much, Siggi! They are amusing birds. I had fun trying to combine the photos!

The result is wonderful. If you didn’t explain your phota, I would say: “Oh! It’s very beautiful”. But you are very clever.
Why, thank you very much! That is such a nice compliment.

I love how you merge your original poetry with beautiful photographs. This one is particularly creative. 🙂
Thank you for the additional “merge” example of poetry and photos! What a nice comment…thank you so much Myra!
…so wonderfully combined and as always so elegant!
Thank you for making me smile again, Marina! Such lovely comments!
Great….have some more fun…..what will be next?
Thank you, David! Yes, I will take your advice with pleasure! I’m not sure what will be next. I guess I will just have to see what develops.
Your acrobatic chickadee diving in the open space made me laugh. These little fellows are so quick, only a photo shows their acrobatic skills. Wonderful!
LOL – they are constantly entertaining! I’m glad it made you laugh. Thanks so much for your lovely comment again, Paula!
Such beauty with every post. Beauty that lingers and inspires the reader. Thanks.
Oh, thank you IT! What a compliment to read that it inspired someone!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Glad you liked it.
I really like this…one of my favorite birds….Michelle
I know, they always seem happy and energetic! Thank you for the nice compliment, Michelle!
How clever to merge the two! Before I read your text the following lines to a song came to mind: ‘He flies through the air with the greatest of ease, the daring young (bird) on the flying trapeze’!
What a great song line to go with the photo! Thank you so much for the nice comment, Meanderer!
A beautiful composite picture. I love how you have merged various element so seamless together. The warm almost non-existing colours are great. As always I enjoy visiting your blog.
What a wonderful compliment! Thank you so much for your kind and helpful feedback, as always.

Your engaging and beautiful photograph so fluently merges the various elements you spoke of, in the same creative method you use with your poetry creating a photographic composition. Nicely done.
Thank you, Penny! A lovely compliment that I really appreciate!
My pleasure. I meant the words most sincerely, Penny

This is SO fun fergiemoto! I love your words and the visual of acrobatics. A bit of Cirque de Soleil is always great inspiration!

Thank you, Sheila! Textures have been fun to work with in photos.
An interesting haiku: nature’s theatre is an intriguing show; the bird falling though spins another message?
Yes, could be. Interesting thought. Thanks!
Neato…well done Fergie!!!
