Reddish Egret White Morph

I added a Fractalius filter to this and masked back in some details.

Denise, I love the way you handle fractalius and reality, marrying the two into a superb picture!

Lovely capture and details. I like the pp.

Really like the way the most of it blends in to the background leaving enough to fill in the details, and how the strong eye and the beak treatment complete the picture. The catchlight is so subtle. Lovely work, denise:)

Beautiful image, Denise! Perfect framing and HA, and love the high-key, frac effect. The strong eye and bill pull you right in. Very well done. :)

Pinkie looking his best :)

Like the subtle frac D, might try Artie's tip, use the lasso tool and fill it with black to make the tip really sharp, or sharper. Just a thought:)

Thanks folks. I appreciate the comments.:)

Denise - this is an amazing image. One of my favorites (of many:)). I love the eye and the contrasting sharpness with the subtle fract. work.

Thank you Cheryl, I appreciate it.:)
