Mr. & Mrs. Inukshuk

A garden center a short drive from my home has these two ornamental inukshuks out front along the highway. The other day, I though I would dig them up and try a fractalius of them. Most of our snow is gone - hoping for more so I can re-shoot this scene with snow instead of green grass. Used the Glow 100 preset and then tweaked the sliders and further tweaking with Viveza.

I saw my first Horned larks on my road today. These are the first birds to arrive in the weeks leading up to spring. Hard to believe, but in 3-4 weeks the frogs will be singing in the vernal ponds in the fields out back.

Look forward to comments.

Very cool Andrew and great eye for this one!:S3: The fractalius filter took this to another level. I also feel that the primary colors add to the feel. Well done.

Andrew,

Very creative use of effects with a fun subject. :S3: Nicely done. I'm just a little bothered by the dark area of sky without frac lines in the upper left as it seems to upset the balance.

This is such a fun image! Love the frac effect on Mr. and Mrs.

Your fract work certainly brought the image to life. I like the composition and colors as well.

Mr. and Mrs. seem to be welcoming Spring! Neat image, graphics and application of frac! If the snow does come I hope it doesn't last long. :w3

Thanks for the comments folks. Very much appreciated. Pouring rain all day today - no sign of snow.
