Just Plain Batty

I played around with this photo to the point where I achieved this. I was amazed at the "extraordinary" final result I achieved, and when I looked at it I saw all these bats flying around.

Haha, look like bats to me too! Great edit!

[Kerri]

Wow! Awesome

[Keyt Harrington]

Oh no! Bats are the only thing in this world that scares me!! I had one stuck in my hair for 3 hours as a kid and haven't liked them since. Cool pic though! lol

@dora No Dora, it was actually a little sponge that I over editited

[Debbie Orlando]

You had me going but I figured you were teasing. At least I hoped so!!! That would be WAY too many bats!

Awesome editing! It DOES look like bats! When we were in Sequoia last year, just off the balcony of the lodge where we were staying was like a bat superhighway. There were tons of them!
