Early morning at the Bosque, lots of cranes dancing, leaping. PP using Fractalius followed by Topaz Clean - flat style. Cloned out some water drops that got magnified after the Clean filter. Self-critique: not enough catchlights in the eyes. But the main idea is to portray the energy and gracefulness of these magnificent birds.
Killer image, Keith! Love the dancing pose and effect on the cranes and the bg. Great capture and processing.
Excellent job on this, Keith! The poses are stunning, and I love the effect and colors. I agree with your self-critique that more distinct eyes would be a plus, but I think that's very minor. :)
Keith, When I started opening up the image I was smiling from ear to ear! Outstanding! The colors really make this special. I love it!
Keith, this is wonderfully good. It has an Oriental feel to me and I love it!!!
Keith, this one is perfect! I like the HA in both birds and the eyes stand out nicely!
Excellent image Keith, it just shouts "Bosque"! Super use of the two main filters. Nice action captured and the eyes don't bother me at all. I would paint out that one specular highlight in the water on the left.
