52 Week Challenge - Creatures

I will get all the 52 Weeks done - I swear I will!
This challenge said "Creatures: Animals or insects, great or small. Your choice this week."
I experimented with Pointillism, a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointillism
The same effect can be created in photography by setting your cameras ISO as high and as noisy as it can go to make the photo look like a painting.
You then exaggerate the noise by cropping the area you want even further, thus making even more noise. It's fun!!
I discovered that this technique worked better on the white birds than the darker ones. Must figure out how to use it on the dark ones as well.

@pistache
Thanks for the follow, Clare. There are just so many great photographers here that it is hard to follow everyone.
I just wish I had more time to devote to following, commenting, and fav'ing! So hard to do everything!
