HOAX!!!
An AMAZING photo was captured today by Corinne Gahan of a new species she calls the Gird. She states “I originally take photos of hummingbirds. They move so quickly that I have to take the shot within a second. I don’t usually get to see what they looked like till after I develop my pictures. What I had found was astounding!” The picture is very clear and easy to tell that this creature looks like a giraffes with wings. Scientist are examining the photo and are saying that this could actually make sense. This creature uses its long neck to reach into the flower, and just like giraffes it has a very long tongue to reach nectar. This creature is small enough to fit in your hand and moves very fast. Hopefully we will see more of this beautiful looking creature.
I made this photo actually very quickly! I love giraffes so I knew that I had to do a giraffe! For the back ground photo I simply used the blur tool to get rid of the actual humming bird. Next I cut out and added the giraffe and made him the perfect size. I then cut out and added the wing which fit perfectly on his back. I then changed the color balance and tons more using about every tool under Colors. Once I anchored the wings I blurred them in making them seem seamless. To add an extra touch I added the giraffe tongue to make it seem like he was reaching for the flower but cutting and pasting. I blurred all edges of the giraffe to make him seamless. Then finally the masterpiece was complete!
