Mummy Discovery by Harris's Hawk

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Would you believe that the Harris's Hawk was corvorting with the mummies in ancient Egyptian times? Me niether :eek3:

Created the Backgound from a Harris"s Hawk peering down on Elephant Head mountain. Did tons of manipulating with CS5 filters, especially my favorite Filters>Distort>twirl in large strengths, sorta Atlas like :Whoa!:. Then a spell in ACDSee special effects & borders.

Comments welcome and very much appreciated.

Keep smiling

This is what the BG was manipulated from. Harris's Hawk over Eleplant Head, a famous rock formation in Green Valley, AZ. BTW: Harris' Hawk head in OP was manipulated in Pixel Bender.

Very cool effect Gus! I might take a sliver off the top if it were mine. I love the basket weave around the outside.:S3:

Very nice image and application, Gus. :c3: :c3: :cheers:

Can't wait to see your contribution to the image of the year!

Nice work, Gus. I like the colors, and the beak curving around the circle in the background is a great touch.

Very cool and creative work Gus. I love it! :S3:
