Space Gull

Winging its way across the universe... Used Topaz Remask to isolate the gull, then extruded the bg and added a lens flare layer in multiply mode.

Kerry, I love the effect on the bg - it's very lush. And the lens flare adds a special touch. I'm not so sure about the little spot behind the gull. I can't decide if it detracts or enhances the image. I'll keep coming back and see if I can decide:)

Cheryl, it's a little bit of Yang in the Yin. :)

"Space Gull" off to the outer limits. Really like it Kerry, tons of fun. With zero gravity, he really must be flying!

Does look like a space gull! It seems a bit tight in the frame. I like the extrude work and the lens flare is a nice touch. :)

Very creative. Looks like it would make a great poster.

Kerry, Love that wonderful blue color and the flare really adds some otherworldliness to it. What I like most is the way the blue extruded area fades away at the top and upper right. The composition is perfect!

I like the effect on the background, also on the fence about the spot to the right of gull..very nicely composed..good PP work on Gull

Cool image, Kerry! Nice combination of filters, and I really like the lens flare.

Beautiful composition, Kerry. I like this a lot... there is almost an ethereal quality to the bg with the flare. Nicely done.
