This was taken on a foggy early morning. I used Topaz Simplify, then Nik Graduated fog, a slight Topaz Adjust Ghostly filter blended with solft light and a slight Topaz Adjust Recovery Shadow. How about those head angles:eek: All the little clumps on the water to the right of the land and on the rhs are groups of cormorants.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.:S3:

Hey Cheryl, nice mood. Good use of Nik's FOG filters. I'm wishing the middle bird had better seperation.........Otherwise it's a nice peaceful feeling:S3:

I rather like the middle guy - he bridges the gap between the other two. Yes, better separation between them would be ideal but gone? Not sure it would have the same impact.
Lovely fog effect here. I especially like the white barely seen bird above the other three...

Cheryl, I like the feel to this one. I agree w/ Jay regarding the middle bird. I see some posterization probably from the compression size. Love the fog! and the pale tones to the image.:S3:

Hey Cheryl,
The fog gives a great mood. I think I like 3.....but better seperation. I'll have to play around with that effect!

I love the fog and I like having all 3 birds included. Nicely processed!
