Viera Wetlands

[Dan Brown]

To create this image, I removed a few distractions, reduced noise with Noise Ninja, sharpened with Nik Sharpener Pro, applied an orton layer, seeram illustration action and a photo warming filter layer.

Dan- I absolutely love it-has to be one of my favorites ever posted in this forum!!! The effect along w/ the palms w/ the addition of the warming filter-just great! If it were mine I might clone that one stick going perpendicular to the palm tree on the right-but just the one. I also am not sure but it may need a slight rotation. Dan this is very cool and look forward to more of this series!!!

Very nice Dan, a nice overall effect. the little bird adds a lot for me. Dave

I like the silky, magical look Dan,
the composition is balanced and the tones and hues really sets it off...good show...:cool:

[Julie Kenward]

Nice one, Dan! I'd be interested to see it au natural without the illustrated part and just the Orton applied. This is nice but feels a bit overdone to me.

I do really love the silky texture to the entire image, though.
