Great Egret in breeding plumage - fracted!

[Indranil Sircar]

I have been away for a while and finally have the opportunity to post an image... This is from last year taken at Venice, FL during Artie's IPT. For processing, I used multiple layers of fract with different settings and then used masks to paint over and create the effect. Hope you like it...

Beautiful job with the fract. Lovely - just elegant.

BTW, I believe it's a great egret, not a snowy.

[Indranil Sircar]

Thanks Maureen. Yes, it is a Great Egret.

Indranil, this is gorgeous! I love the flowing feathers and the curves. Great job:S3:

Indranil, Nice to have you back! I love the elegant pose and the effect really accentuates it nicely!

Very nice image and application, Indranil.

Nice Fract effect and lighting of the egret.:cheers:

[Brendan Dozier]

Very nice, Indranil, like the pose you captured and elegant composition. The fract treatment with light glow is a great touch.

Indranil, there is so much to like in this image..the sparse, brilliantly lit elements of the next...the graceful, sweeping lines of the plumage and pose...the glow, the bright green of the lores...the one thing I might do is brush back in just a bit more detail around the head, but that's a matter of personal taste. This is really well done!

Thanks all. I appreciate it!
