Was playing with a lankescape that was not too interesting and had about
a half hour earlier done a practice extraction on the cormies. Ah, had a vision.
Bring the two together, match the color of the lakescape to the cormie scene
and blend the water just a bit. Was a fun play. Highly recommend Re-Mask2
if you are interested in extractions.
Thanks for looking in and c/c......originals below
Great PS work Dave as usual! A very "believeable" end product. I might have tried (maybe you did also?) to clone some of the forground water into the BG water, just for a mixed transition.

Absolutely beautiful work! I can see how good Re-mask 2 is. I like those birds flying in formation..

Great work as always Dave! I might be tempted to do some blurring or graduated fog effect on the foreground water to simulate a shallow depth of field, but I love it as presented. Good thinking to combine the two images!

thanks for comments and critique friends.....I quickly added a bit of the
water motion to the bg water......for a smoother transition

Great work Dave. I would have never known it was a composite. Perfect BG for the image.

Beautiful composite, Dave. The BG and cormorants go together perfectly.

Dave, I really liked the original re-mask,but the remask 2 is really great. The refining is so much better. Great job putting this together it looks very natural.
