    Default Theme: Color Shift - Summer Sizzle

    It's amazing how my workflow gets away from me and I finish and wonder what I just did:confused: I'm
    pretty sure that I used 2 layers and cranked the hue and saturation all the way up but in different directions, then
    erased one layer of the egret. Then, I used a little Topaz simplify and the new Topaz Detail which I'm getting used
    to.

    Comments and suggestions appreciated:)

    After posting, I realize I should have evicted the partial leaves on the left border. Will repost later.:D

    Cheryl, Nice effect and good composition. Colors are vibrant and the bird is nicely framed. Agree about the small leaves which you have already stated.

    I'm impressed, Cheryl! The colors are gorgeous! I might just tone down the pinks by the bird a wee bit because they seem to jump out a little too much for my taste. Just a minor point though; with or without it, it's a wonderful image!
