Nervous Energy

[Cheryl Slechta]

This was taken at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm last month. These little guys were giving Mom a hard time. I used Fractalius Slow Motion with a normal blending mode at 76% and then added another Fractalius layer of Crayon soft blended 100% with Luminosity Blending Mode. It seemed to convey their frantic energy

Love the original composition, and what you have done with it is fun.

[Indranil Sircar]

Very nice composition, Cheryl. It does show the energy and fract rally adds to that.

[Nancy Bell]

This is something every mom can relate to! Love the effect of fractalius on the feathers and the sticks. Nice that each bird has an eye showing.

[Paul Lagasi]

Very nice effect and composition, I think I've seen my daughters act like this...Well Done.

I can feel the static. Good comp with the basic image. These guys are perfect for the Fractalius effect used.

This image conveys the message of the title. I'm having a bit of trouble seeing the bodies of the birds--that is, the body of the middle bird seems to get confused with that of the bird on the right. The colors are great.

Hi Cheryl, I just love this fracted effect you created with the two different presets...I have never thought of mixing up the presets like this...will have to give it a whirl.
