Painted Elephants

[Dave Phillips]

this is a pair of elephants from the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler, TX.
Taken a couple weeks ago. Totally changed the bg before DAP painting.

Thanks for looking in and any c/c
(this is not part of theme week)

Hi Dave, Painterly soft yet I can see plenty of detail.Very nice job of replacing all unwanted areas in a convincing manner.Very well handled...

Dave, This is fantastic and should be inc. in theme week!! I love the details in the original and how you did a great job cleaning up the unwanted areas!! Beautiful DAP rendition. Soft where needed yet full of detail. Very well done and one of my favorites!!

Dave, I agree with Denise (it should be included in theme week) and also how beautifully crafted it is.:) Did you
use a combination of DAP filters or just one?

You continue to amaze me, Dave. Superb job with replacing the background, and the DAP effects are wonderful. I like the soft, un-focused background, while there are just enough details in the elephants. I love the lighting also. Very well done.

Cheryl, this was all Benson, with defocus masking and varied brushes
