I knew Dave, appreciated his commenting on my images, corresponded with him with PMs, and I miss him. This image is of a Green Heron, a bird we both really liked, using the plugin fractalius that I am so glad he introduced me to, as well as pixel bender.
Comments and critique welcomed. regards

Dave would have loved this image, Bill. Typical greenie pose and I love the soft colors in the bg.
Nice image and application, Bill.
Nice memorial to a great mentor to many.
Very painterly, almost like an etching on the bird and wood. I think that if the background was blurred a little, you would really have an etching on your hands. It reminds me of the ones you see in the hand painted old bird books. Just my thoughts.
Just wonderful!
Bill, Great looking effect. The colors and the details are perfect. Love the pose. I too miss Dave's comments and suggestions. He was a great inspiration and help to us all!
A style all your own Bill, nice effects and composition....good work
Hi Bill, great effect on this great base image. I love it!
I'm sure Dave would have loved this one, Bill. I like the pose, and your filter treatment is stunning as always!
Excellent composition, Bill. I love the pose and your processing. I am sure Dave would have loved it too... he loved these greenies. TFS
Lovely! Congratulations.
Appreciate the kind words! Sandy; indeed my main goal when I began develpoment of this technique several years ago was to create etching type images that were reminiscent of those found in the 18-19 century. The use of fractalius to create the very thin lines necessary was absolutely essential, and I can thank Dave for bringing the program to my attention. Miss the guy!! regards~Bill
