I used Topaz Clean and Adjust on the eagle and the clear blue sky was boring so I added two textures, masked the eagle, and added a spray of stars with Mystical Lighting filter to create a fantasy image.

"Per Ardur Ad Astra" - Through Adversity to the Stars, (Our motto in RAF Bomber Command - WWll) - http://unclegus.150m.com/daddywar1.htm is what that gorgeous painting of Judy's fabulous presentation brings to mind, especially the way he is looking up. Was definitely a super BIF original before a lovely job of enhancement. I think this forum is definitely pushing the envelope.
Well done Young Lady

I think there may be a slight halo around the bird but this is a really nice one. Great job on the BG.
Judy, I love the fun sky and the stars really add some whimsy to this. The Eagle looks great and I think you did a nice job masking it in.:)
Thanks much Gus! Your war story was interesting and informative.Quote:

Thanks Indranil!
Beautiful work, Judy. Very uplifting! :) The pose and upward motion of the eagle are perfect, and I love the starry sky!
Thanks Christopher! I love glitz and I thought the stars added to the image although I left them toned down to fit in with the rest of the sky.
Great job Judy, I like this a lot. As Christopher said, it is uplifting. Love the soaring into the stars!
Very nice Judy, love the sky and the position of the eagle too!
Thanks much, Kerry and Andrew!
Nice looking eagle and very nice background.
