This is made from four images. Adjusted with the "Indian Summer" filter in Nik Color Efex Pro3. Then I used Topaz' "simplify" to give it that watercolor look.
Susan, The Black-bellied Whistling ducks are my favorite and the Ibis flying in the BG really do remind me of Florida. The surreal colors and the main tree are all very pleasing. I might remove the half rock on the edge of the right side-but would have to see it. It may balance the comp. Very nice effects and a great job w/ the composite!!
Hi Susan, Nice scene,color and applied effects. Wondering if you might have put a bit much in the image. Would have put in either the flying ibises or the ducks. Hard for the eye to rest. Creative!
Very nice work, Susan. The colors, scene combination and filters are all well done. I tend to agree with Dave that it might be a bit too much. I'd vote for keeping the ducks.
