For the snow theme, I thought this guys minimal approach might just squeak in there. I used Nik Color Efex glamour glow, and classic soft focus filters and then added just a touch of Fractalious. A bit of masking here and there to finish up. A fun image for me, and yes, that single snowflake did actually land right there. A lucky shot for me.
Outstanding fashion statement, and at such a jaunty angle! I love the simplicity of a single snowflake and that you can see the intricate design of the flake. Your choice of the soft focus filter was perfect. I do like that fractalius highlights the feather details enough for them to still be seen.
Hi Dave, I like the effect and the subject. That snowflake adds a nice touch also. Regarding the perch I would either add more of it or take it out completely...
Thank you so much for your thoughts Nancy. I did enjoy softening him up a bit.
Dave, I absolutely agree on the perch thought, and don't know why I didn't see that before. I'll go with a little less to see how it looks. Thanks again Nancy and Dave.
Dave, I love the repost. The soft filtering is just perfect for the image and fractalius adds to the effect. The snowflake is the "icing on the cake":S3:
What a cutie! The repost is perfect. Love the soft look, that still allows me to see the feathers. Beautiful soft tones. That one snowflake shines. Lovely work.
Thanks Cheryl and Anita. I'm glad Dave pointed out the branch issue.
What a lovely image! The softness is perfect and the snowflake really puts it over the top! It is much improved by removing the perch.
Hi Dave, Nice job on the repost...works well for me!!
Nice work on the repost, fits the theme..well done
Thank you Paul, the thoughts are always appreciated.
Dave, Soft and fluffy! I like the repost too. The snowflake on its head is a perfect winter touch!
