Filtered Night Heron

[Indranil Sircar]

Here is my version of the filter abuse:confused: Used five layers - three of which are fractalius, two topaz (simplify, adjust+remask) and then used layer masks on each to paint over and create this effect. Hope you like it...

Indranil, I love what the combination of fractalius and topaz did to the background! I love the colors and the base image must be killer:) (And I love night herons)

Indranil, Very powerful, dynamic, frac combo. Yes, super BG and great eyes!

Cheryl, Denise, Steve, thanks. Appreciate it a lot... here is the original...

[Kerry Perkins]

This is great! Good job on the original capture and you really got a neat effect with the filters. I like! One of my favorite birds and that background is special.

[Hilary Hann]

I absolutely love this image. The filters have added another dimension completely. Well done.

[Patti Edens]

Indranil, Your original is a wonderful capture with a great pose, but the filter work has transformed it into a really exciting image. I love the way the dark sky and electric charge has totally changed the mood.

Nice image and application, Indranil.
