I'm watching the ball game and I've lost my creative state of mind. Any ideas on what to complete this theme with?
Another barn or cabin on a hillside or far off field? The caller order don't care of the theme is. I've got the birds on the limb on the other side. That is a very popular request.

Wow David, that is some Impresssive work. I wouldn't be unhappy with it as is.
-
How about a valley with a mountian back drop.
-
How about a hunter set up with gun up against a tree
-
Man, you sure do nice work.

How about a valley with a mountian back drop.
That's my best bet so far with what is already done
-

I can do that but I've already got the birds coming out of the timber into an open spot or feeding down the point. It would be wrong in my opinion to try to set up in the open with the birds coming out of dark timber. Maybe if I had more dark timber on the right and the hunter hid in that?
That's a maybe. I'll study on it and how much room I have left and hot to tie it in with the other side.
Good idea, even if not on this one maybe the next one?
-
That's some nice work!!
-
I think I see 3 jakes running off across the field or pasture on the right hand side.
Or maybe a bobcat crotched down in the weeds headed towards these birds.
Or lastly, a hawk or a crow coming in to swoop down at these birds.
Whatever you add in David it is going to have to be pretty nice to complement what you have already done! *up*

David,
You have achieved something that is very challenging to do in 'black & while' get great depth of field in the woods and the birds without getting the scene all muddy...I can't take my eys of of that, it is very captivating and the Mayapple is the icing on the cake. You have captured the moment with great detail and made all of the trees distinctive, yet making the woodlands believable--this, as you know is not easy to do and know when to stop burning.
So where I am going with this...to me the scene and moment are set and the best way to support this would be to let the rest of the composition fall away to a valley with gentle movement and simple features so not to detract from the "show" by the gobbler and hen. But of course you are the artist and I know whatever you do will be fitting and look mighty fine. Thanks for tossing this out there for us, this was fun.

4356 Dover Road would work ROTFLMBO
-
A split rail fence with a fox crouched behind the end rail ?
-
Maybe a old hay shed or abandon cabin? Beautiful work David.

Looks like a fall scene to me, most turkeys are probably headed to a cut corn field when emerging from the forest. Awesome artistry any way I look at it.
-
that crazy amazing work if I snapped a picture of me watching the game right now, you'd see shrimp peels, popcorn, chips and salsa and a fat gut..
-
birds pitching into the field at a distance? *up*
-
How about a barb-wire fence running length (left to right) wise from behind the land scape you already have there... with a barn and silo off in the far right hand corner but in the distance. Behind the barn stuff have a timber filled hillside. Your work looks great man. Keep it coming.---Jason

You realize with all this help we need to see the finished product. RkLu Yea I know you'll show it and what ever you come up with it will be awesome. *cheers*

It's fabulous. I'll be anxious to see what you decide with all the suggestions. Hope you'll share more pictures when it's done.
-
what ever ya do David, make is more simple that the great scene ya captured with the turkeys and the timber.
Thats a IMPRESSIVE out of sight scene.
Get it done with what ever ya decide and pm me .....I will give ya my address ;D
Stunning work again David.
Make sure to share with us the decesion and the finished product
-
Lots of good suggestions...Man that is beautiful. I like the idea of the view scape transitioning into a pasture scene. BUT...what I see in my mind and something unique and different is a transition into a water scene. Maybe the edge of a lake or pond with some backdrop???? Could do a few ducks or geese in formation...

This is kind of my style. I haven't made many silo's cause there aren't many in this country. If I could keep it suttle like Scott suggested I may try something like this.
Birds pitching off the roost. Hmmm?
I was wrong with both my picks on the games today so I just as well get to work finishing this caller.
Water is really tough to make look correct.
Lots of good suggestions. I'll refer to them as new project arise. I've only got so much room without making it to busy.
Thanks for the help. I'm gonna start in of the finish

Maybe a picked corn field with an old tractor or truck sittin in the weeds?
-
Finished it up today. Some of you wanted to see it when it was done.
Thanks for all the ideas, I'll put them in to future scenes.
