    Default Meerkat Fence

    Just kidding, but it's the closest thing I've gotten to an interesting fence lately. The meerkat family was just to the left of the Dragon in my previous post from the Children's Garden at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens. I used Fractalius Sketch with a Luminosity blend, then Nik Contrast Color Range. (I love meerkats!!!)
    Thanks for looking.

    Hi Cheryl, I like the processing and the line-up of Meerkats. Very nicely work! These guys are loads of fun to watch aren't they!

    Great idea for a fence I like the effect... almost like stonework! Very much an OOTB thinking and great processing!

    Cheryl, These guys are so cute. I might be tempted to chop off the top and bring the focus more on the group. Love the littlest one! Great processing!

    Looks like a meerkat version of Easter Island. Fun.

    At first I thought the dark outlines were a bit harsh, but they grew on me....and now they look more like stained glass....I like them. I did play around with cropping the top a bit so the Meerkats are not quite so overwhelmed. Not sure. I can see the argument for that. It does focus more on the meerkats. But then, it is a "fence' idea and you need a place to fence in. so in the end, i think i'd keep it as is. good job.

    I think meerkats are so funny. This is a great "fence" image, Cheryl

    Hi Cheryl. I'll echo those thoughts above. The guy on the right end seems to know how to pose for a camera.

    Cheryl: it is too late now, but I think you could have included it in the fence theme. This is OOTB! We like to be imaginative. I, too, would take off the top third to focus on the meerkats. Perfect processing.
