Guilty Pleasure

This is result of playing with kind of cheesy plugin for PS. I had plain, technically good image of a bird with empty background and just wanted to see what content I can add.

I like your use of Flood, especially that you kept the tip of the wing out of the water. Good colors too :)

Samir, this is really inventive and I like it quite a bit. My only comment is that the cloud is so low to the horizon that it feels manufactured. I think if you got the cloud higher in the sky and more above the bird's head it would really look like you captured a rare and special moment...I think I'd be hard pressed to know you made this in PS!

I like it all and you did come up with a good one !!! Particulary like use of flood !! Reflection makes the iamge for me !!

Would clone some texture in the light areas of the bird !!!

Excellent Samir. I like it as presented, the clouds and reflection puts it over the top...:cool:

This has an almost surreal quality to it that I like very much. Nice job!

Thank you all very much. Clouds look kind of fake to me too now. And there is hot spot on the wing. Strange how you can't see it until someone else points it.
