Things that go ...bump....and then...burp...in the night

[PhilCook]

The eyes of an owl isolated from an avian image and imposed onto a black backdrop, and "Flood " filter applied, all done simply in PS Elements 9

Phil, welcome to OOTB! Our last bi-weekly theme was surrealism - it would have been perfect for the theme. Great use of Flood - I wouldn't have known they were owl eyes but I love their reflections in the water - they look like sunsets. You might want to crop just a little off the top but let's see what others think. I hope we see lots more of your work here

[Dave Woeller]

Very creative and well done. I would agree with just a sliver off the top.

[John Storjohann]

Phil, welcome to OOTB...and how did you manage to capture a night-time image of the Loch Ness monster? Very creative...agree with Cheryl's comment about a sliver off the top...and I'd be tempted to soften/blur the foreground reflections just a smidge more...great image!

[Anita Bower]

Well done! Dramatic and fun image. I, too, am an Elements user!

Phil,

Greetings. Ha! I got a smile on this one. Good show!

On close inspection... I might unflip the catchlight on one eye.

Cheers,

-Michael-

Very creative composition Phil! I wouldn't have guessed owl eyes. I agree about taking some off the top.

[Indranil Sircar]

Welcome to OOTB, Phil. This is excellent! Love the composition and the your use of flood. TFS.

[Dave Mills]

Very creative! Agree about a bit off the top...

[PhilCook]

Thanks folks, I dont often tinker in PS, but now and then the mood takes me and I go silly

[Mitch Carucci]

Love it! a bit scary though...

Phil, Welcome to OOTB. Great first post. I really like the drama of those eyes! Great use of the filter One small suggestion- I might try to get the eyes to look as if they are in the water and not behind it.

[Bob Miller]

Phil....This is really cool! I like it alot! I agree with denise about getting eyes to look a bit submerged in the water and cropping from top

[PhilCook]

Good point about the eyes, cheers for that, I no longer have this plugin on my PC since it's breakdown and rebuild...but might have to remedy that again

Phil, Flaming Pear is offering several of their older plug-ins for free.
