Pelican w/ Vine

I added a Topaz Simplify filter to this. Cloned some debris from BG.

I just love the design of this image. That vine is too good. I like look of the Simplify filter. I would, however, sharpen just the head a bit; I almost always wanna see the face and eye sharp.... I also love the soft colors, the pastel look, and especially, how the leaves of the vine turned out.

Artie, Thanks, here is a repost.

For me, much better. Thanks!

Love the softness of this image and the way the vine leads to the pelican. The choice of filter really works on this.

Excellent composition, Denise. Beautifully positioned in the frame. Love the colors and the effect of the filters. Nicely done :)

Very nice, Denise. Excellent composition with the pelican and vine. I like the soft BG and effect. Well done :)

Very creative, Denise. IMO the sky/clouds add a dreamy effect.

Thanks folks, I appreciate the kind comments.:)
