Wigeon Slumber

[Indranil Sircar]

It's been a while since I posted any image... work has been keeping me away and finally I had the opportunity to work on an image! I used an image of a pair of Wigeon sleeping near a floating branch. For processing, I used DAP and Topaz Simplify and then used masks in each layer to open up the lower layer selectively. Hope you like it...

Indranil, this would make a perfect theme image! Glad you're back.

Indranil, a nice image...I like the processing you've done...if it were mine, I might take a bit off the bottom or look to possibly extend the top a bit...good to see you back!

Lovely subtle colors and an elegant composition. You used DAP so creatively to bring out beautiful lines and shading. I will have to look into it.

I think it fits the weekly theme also. Lovely peaceful image. I especially like the coiled branches.

Indranil, this would make a perfect theme image! Glad you're back.

Thanks Cheryl. I appreciete it. I did choose the Japanese style felt tip and dark shades in the tree to give the feel. Only thing missing was my chop
