Theme: Pelican reflection

[Kerry Perkins]

Image from the Salton Sea, taken out of the box and manipulated with Topaz Simplify and Nik Color Efex Pro. Did a few tweaks in CS4 for color, saturation, and levels. :)

Very creative Kerry! Looks like a carving from plywood showing the different layers in color! OOTB:p:p

[Kerry Perkins]

Hi Dan, thanks! Maybe the "Pastel Plywood" filter will catch on... :D

[Dave Mills]

Hey Kerry...I like the effect you created and the soft pastel colors are pleasing to the eye.Nicely handled!!

[Fabs Forns]

Lovely colors and lines on the filter, well done!

[Jay Gould]

Mate, absolutely rocks! Can't wait to graduate from leaning CS4 to playing with CS4.

Love the treatment. Very creative.

Now that is blue! Like how the felection differs from the orig bird. Looks like a finger in a socket. Something that has been electrified. Tesla would be proud:)

Kerry, This looks really nice - he reminds me of an abalone shell. And the colors are gorgeous. I might like it a
little better if he had a little darker eye in the reflection but it's great just the way it is:D

Hi Cheryl, good observation about the eye in the reflection! There actually isn't a good one to be had there! There are two kind of dark spots but they are in the wrong place and everything I did to try to make a good eye down there just looked funky, so I let it go! I even tried copying the real eye and putting it there but it didn't look good to me... Thanks for your comments! :D

What a treatment Kerry! Awesome mate. :)
