Photo Art Friday

Improbably Pairings ... good grief, what is that?  I struggled and struggled with this prompt.  I started out being literal.  I mean what two things do I have pictures of that are unlikely to be seen together in real life.  That is how I started out, so my first picture is ...

Cats and Dogs are not supposed to be friends so, to many people, they would be an improbably pair ... but at my house they are all good friends so, to me, it wasn't so improbable.  None the less, I fancied it up with the pdpa painterly texture, put a frame on it and counted it as my first attempt. 

Back to square one ... once again, I am stuck on literal so I came up with another improbable pair that is a little more artsy.

These two ... the Dove and the Red Wing Blackbird are definitely an improbable pair.  But again, it is not that you might not see them in the same place once in awhile.  They definitely wouldn't hang out together so I doctored it up and made it my second choice. 

Still not satisfied, I took this picture to another level and then I said amen.  Maybe I just don't get it.  I will wait to see how others interpreted this prompt and learn from it that way.  So my final effort is ...

The same pair with a grave stone layered into it.  I love the result so I am happy with the art that I accomplished, but I am still not sure this is what the prompt was looking for.  So I shall wait and see how the rest of you approached it.  Smiles ...
