The Free Bird
The text in this background comes from a poem by Maya Angelou called “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”. It’s an amazing short read, and you should definitely read it. Please click on the image to see the full-size version – it looks much better in big!
I had a perfectly silhouetted bird, a photo taken from my kitchen window in the early hours of the morning one day last month. Of course, I had to try my hand at the grungy-chic style that is so popular (especially with birds in it!) at the moment. This is just a quickie, I only spent about two hours on it, and it’s been a while since I’ve done any photoshopping. I’m quite pleased with the result, anyway. Hope you enjoy it too!
