That'll teach him to hang around on street corners! lol
Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!

The metal of the cage has great texture and is beautifully painted. Really looks like old hammered iron. Excellent.

Sweet! Do you have a work in progress picture so we can steal your excellent idea?
Be mindful of the prayers you send
Pray hard but pray with care
For the tears that you are crying now
Are just your answered prayers

Pure luck. :) The background is cut from a magazine and just propped up (tilted slightly backwards from the camera) as a background..and the camera set on macro with the  lowest light setting, flash deactivated. Through the view finder it looks like your taking a picture in the dark....thereīs virtually nothing visible.
 Took about 10 attempts to get one looking half decent  :)

Cracking idea and very well explained, I must try something similar. This is what I love about this forum the easy exchange of ideas.
