Basic needs by busi2ness

Hey, I hope you all have fun, do not lose the fun element in your photography!
Probably my last grungy upload for a while. This one was done with a "molten lead" texture, hence the brighter textured vignette. You may have noticed that not all photographs are good candidates to grunge but others increase in impact and/or mood. To me it remains a medium close to pure photography combined with some creativity coming from my emotions, without losing the content of the image. You be the judge which ones work and which don't.

Great work
Great photo, and the grunge definitely worked with this one!
I think Tara nailed it... it (the grungy postwork) focuses the attention on the main subject. I love the little (or not) open mouths waiting for their basic need to be met... So much like humans - always reaching out and seeking for basic needs to be satisfied! Excellent work Piet! :)
I feel for the little ones. Kinda sad in that I can almost hear them calling out. Postwork is fabulous looking. Well done!
What a stunning shot! The added grunge is a great idea!
most excellent Piet well done my friend
Wonderful capture and post work Oom Piet.
I envy your capability of choosing a perfect grunge to your work. Wow..youre simply the best...
Fantastic capture and postwork. Excellent work!
I know nothing of grunge other than that which sticks to my grandson when he comes in from riding his dirt bike... but I do know birds and I am totally in love with these little ones. Stellar peek at them!
