Zebras

I used Gradient Map in PS to create more of a B&W image (not too hard with zebras as the subject!). Then a much reduced opacity fractalius layer & Topaz simplify 5 buz sim. There are many choices of buz sim presets in Simplify 5, allowing for the creation of lots of different looks. And you can also modify the presets.

I love the blue and tan and the wisps in the BG. A very nice image for a graphic treatment!

Nancy, I love the color combination and the way fractalius created the wisps and Topaz gave the black an iridescence. I would like to see just a little bit more of the closest zebra's eye revealed but it's great just the way it is.:S3:

Thanks Diane & Cheryl.

Nicely composed image and crop. Love the toning. Perfect for the theme..nicely done.

Really nice treatment Nancy. Lovely colours and I would do a tighter crop from the top, but that's just me.

Wonderful graphic image with beautiful tones. Great combined usage of Fractalius and simplify. I might crop a tad off the top, but very nice composition as is.

Thank you Jackie & Cindy. I like the suggestion of cropping some from the top. It puts a bit more emphasis on the graphic zebras.

Very cool effect on the zebras, would make a neat puzzle. Love it

Love the zebras! Nice processing and composition.
