Not only did we share a liking for the Green Heron, but Dave was the first to introduce me to Fractalius. I thought of him as our resident plug in tester. Really miss the guy!

Excellent fract work Bill and a great image for a tribute to Dave. He really is missed and his participation and leadership in this forum/site will always be remembered. I love the clear eye and the fish couldn't be more perfectly positioned.:S3:
Bill,
Great capture. I like the high key look to the image. Beautifully done.

Bill, Dave would have loved this one!
Love the high key look, that killer fish, the head and fish angles, and the image design. Which FRACT pre-set did you use/start with?
Appreciate the comments, and I think Dave would have liked it. Arthur- no preset and I always set both sharpness sliders to 100, and line width to 0, Scale all the way to the left, and drop saturation. I play with the other sliders. Basically I try to create a thin line drawing for the top layer (frac layer), then decrease the opacity to about 50% to reveal the base image. I usually use the history brush to restore the eyes to the original. regards~Bill
Hey Bill, Thanks for the tip! I will have to try it as I love your illustrated look.
Very nice capture, love the look. I'll have to give that fract tip a try. Much thanks.
Superb image Bill! It's always a challenge to get the bird and the prey in focus and positioned nicely and you did both admirably.
That he was! :S3: Dave introduced quite a few new techniques to BPN. Great pose for both bird and fish and love the high-key effect.Quote:
