Black and White Cosmic Kite

[Kerry Perkins]

It's been a while since I did a space bird, so here's a new one! I used Topaz photoFXlab, which allows you to apply effects from different plugins from a central interface. I used DeNoise, Detail, Adjust, Star Effects, and B&W Effects filters.

I like the multi-toned charcoal background and the composition. I'm not sure if it's the pose of the kite, the star, or the way the kite contrasts with the background, but there's almost a 3-D effect. Very nicely done from capture through processing.

Kerry, this is very, very cool. I think I'd like a slight crop from the bottom.

[Anita Bower]

A dramatic B&W image. The simplicity and the lens flare effect make it compelling.

Beautiful composition, Kerry. Love the contrast in b&w and the sharpness... nice touch with the star effect!

[Judy Howle]

Very nice Kerry! I love the pose of the bird, the toning and filter work and the star.

[Dave Woeller]

Absolutely gorgeous Kerry. Would love to see a large print of this.

[Mitch Carucci]

Beautiful in its simplicity.
