Weekly Theme: Bateleur

[Cindy Cone]

The bateluer eagle is much more regal than depicted here. I added canvas to the original and rotated a bit to make the flip work. I used Topaz Adjust color pop and some selective sharpening to finish. Thanks for looking.

Cindy, that is amazing...REALLY amazing! Love the intense colors against that white BG and the details in the feathers...fantastic!

[Kerry Perkins]

Good one Cindy! Great base image to start with and I love the flip. It makes for a strange, but believable, birdy!

[Paul Lagasi]

This is cute...also the love the Budda like statue on his chest...gotta love these flips

[Lance Peters]

Love it Cindy - something straight out of the Amazon rainforest.

[Cindy Cone]

Thanks, Jules, Kerry, Paul and Lance. I really appreciate your comments.

[Patti Edens]

Cindy, I love the colors and the flip, especially the extras that show up, such as the statue on his chest and the little face at the top of the perch with talon horns.

Cindy, Really creative. I agree w/ Paul-it looks like it is holding a Buddha statue. Very neat!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Cindy, I love the image with the Buddha on his chest and the gargoyle at his feet:)

[Cindy Cone]

Thanks, Cheryl. The buddha and gargoyle were purely accidental flip results.
