Theme - Abstract - Exuberance in Flight

This is an image of a flock of White and Glossy Ibis, shot at Merritt Island NWR earlier this year. The original image of this rendering was previously posted in another rendition. I cropped the original image of the flock to isolate these four Ibis.

I further modified the image with; Poster Edge, Dry Brush, Glass Distortion, a minor Twist, Polar Coordinate, I added a frame and applied Bas Relief. I then added a Colored Spotlight at 1:00 position and then another Colored Spot at 7:00 position, adjusting the spot positioning to create the lighting effect desired, prior to adding the final frame.

Hope you enjoy!

I like the lighting and colors. I would clean up the lines in the BG at the left of image and remove the part of the vignette ?that is at the top left if it were my image. I like the way you framed it.

Mark, I like the lighting also and the title seems to go well w/ the image.One of your best IMO. I agree w/ the small clean-ups sugg. by Michael. Very nicely done!

agree with the above comments.....maybe a bit overworked, but an awesome abstract rendering
of the ibis. Definitely one of your best sir

Glad I'm not the only one with disfunctional eyes! :o ;)

Hi Mark! This one is really beautiful!! Love the gold tone and complimenting colors. The interesting framing really looks nice and I love the arcs of the birds. Well done!!
