Tried it with my loon, but it looked a bit washed out (;)) so I deleted the second duplicate layer. This added some color back. Tweaked the color with hue/saturation- still wasn't quite happy, so used some paint brushes to color the water and loon a bit more. (All in Photoshop). (I'm actualy a watercolorist, mostly...). Not sure I like the results, but it was a great exercise.
Wow! What a fun technique...I'll have to give it a try! I like this overall except for the breast of the bird. It's so much whiter than the rest of him - any way to even it out a bit more?
You can tell you do watercolor...this totally gives you away! :D
Excellent Cindy,
I love the feel to this one. The capture is great. Love the splash of the water...good show...looking foward to your next creation...:cool:
