Puffins

[denise ippolito]

I know this weeks theme is Cowboy -Up, but I had to share one of my Puffin images with you guys.
I added an angled brush stroke to this and then masked back in the eyes. I also added a canvas BG texture. I thought it was a cute shot w/ the two of them.:)
Sorry I will get back on track with the themes ASAP!!!:p

Love the chests and beaks touching Denise. Like the angled brush strokes for the rocks too. Exposure looks good. Sweet image! You got your puffin shot!

Thanks Jackie, It was such a great experience and I was fortunate to be able to land that day. They had such bad weather in Maine and alot of the tours were canceled. I enjoyed the day so much and I can't wait to go again next year.

Excellent composition, Denise. Those angled brush strokes works very well here. Love those puffins! btw, where did you capture those?

[denise ippolito]

Thanks guys I appreciate the comments.
Indranil, I captured them on Machias Island off the coast of Maine -I shot from a blind. It was an incredible day!!

Hi Denise, The interaction is great along with the subtle use of filters.

Thanks Dave!!

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Glad you're back D. :)

Wonderful interaction and good use of filters. Happy you made it. I had a friend visit there last week and all their trips were canned due to weather. You guys will be sick of me saying these are my fave northern bird! :D

[denise ippolito]

Thanks Akos!! Alot of the trips were canceled due to the bad weather and rough seas.

[John Ippolito]

This is one sweet, sweet image, Denise. The treatment works very well, and I bet the original is a killer.

Thanks John, I appreciate the kind words.
