Congratulations Dave Woeller
Fun With Filters
I had this image in my toss out file but thought I might salvage something with some filter work. I started by adding a flood filter below the bulkhead since it was just an expanse of concrete. I then used fractalious starting with the BW sketch 3 preset, but raised the saturation just a touch. The egret was way too tight on the top, so I added canvas (maybe coulda used more) and cloned in some backround. I then used masks on the eyes, beak, and feet to bring back some detail there. This resulted in a bit more color coming back, so I masked the backround a bit and felt the touch of color pulled the image together. So now I'm ready for comments and suggestions. Thanks to all for all the help you give.
