Arty-Farty Reddish Egret

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi All,
Well, I'm back in the UK and missing the USA already:(:(. Thought I'd send you another arty-farty pic through the blur of jet lag....again, deliberately underexposed :D so fiddled around in levels (PS elements 6).

Regards to all,

PS Alberto, please thank your daughter for her sweet sentiment!! :):)

Let's try this again - as the jet lag threatens to take over the world....

I like the idea and reflection pattern. It needs a bit CCW rotation and above the bird there are some clone marks. As for missing the U.S., at the current exchange rate you should book another flight soon. :)

Nicki, your egret has 2 tail feathers...jet lag is a killer. The concept is nice.

[Katie Rupp]

Nicki, I really like the effect you're making with these images. Very whimsical and unique..keep them coming.

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Very original Nicki. Love these artistic shots.
Big Congrats,

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Thanks guys! Yes Carole, I do indeed see the two tails....ah, the joys of attempting to edit with matchsticks holding your eyes open.....

[Alberto Oria]

Nicki you are so creative, thumbs up.

Nicki,
Around here it's "Artsy Fartsy"!:D

This is a great candidate for our Out If The Box forum.

I like the high key look you have created.

I do feel a level horizon would make this a stronger image.

Thanks for sharing,
James

Nicki,

Sure like where you are going with this one, eyes propped open or not.

[Gus Cobos]

Looking good Nicki...:D I like the the feel and mood...and the fractel image in the water...:cool:

[Alfred Forns]

Nicki most of the time I make reference the feel of an image but with this one .................... I think its smell :D:D:D:)

Love the way you tilted the image Over the top feel One out of the box image if I've ever seen one !!!!

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Thanks so much for your kind comments guys. Al, actually I didn't tilt this deliberately, it came out of the camera like this - perhaps I was jet lagged then as well!!!!!
