Digital recreations of macaws

Re: File:Glaucous macaw.jpg: I think this image is interesting and that you are good at manipulation of digital images. I have started a discussion about the images at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Birds and you would be welcome to participate and advance the discussion over there. I guess that there are probably many ways which you could contribute to the Wiki using your talents with images, and the best way might be to participate with a WikiProject; such as WikiProject Birds. Can you make digital maps? Snowman (talk) 17:16, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Castel Sant'Angelo

Hi there! I've removed your image File:Chateau-st-ange.jpg from the article on Castel Sant'Angelo, and from the three articles on es.wikipedia where you had inserted it. It is a fine and interesting image, but unfortunately as it stands it is considered WP:original research - it's your personal idea of what that building might have looked like. If your reconstruction is based on published WP:reliable sources, then perhaps those should be mentioned in the description of the image. If it has been published by some reliable source, then citing that source would give the image credibility. As mentioned above, I am sure that your talents could be put to good use in wikipedia, and joining up with other editors might be a good way to make that happen.

Photo manipulations

Hi, it would be good if you listed the source photos you use for your photo manipulations, to make sure they are not copyright violations. For example the background here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pezophaps_solitaria_recreation.jpg FunkMonk (talk) 23:19, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks for your advice. In any case, I noticed that photo manipulations of Pezophaps and Ara tricolor are now unrealistic and need deletion. I will proceed according to do so. No copyright violations are involved in the other images I have uploaded: the unpublished sources are mine or from friends who have sent them to me for such manipulations.
