    A few had trouble recognizing the last Fractalius image of the snake yesterday,
    so here's a real commoner......a squirrel! Extracted from original and placed in front
    of an old moon shot. Fractaliused the combo and found the effect really interesting.

    Thanks for looking and c/c

    Dave, I love the image design. The black BG is a good choice. The golden lit moon is awesome w/ the treatment. Was wondering how it would look if the branch didn't have the filter/or maybe just some separation between the squirrel and the branch? Another interesting image!

    Hi Dave, Agreed on the interesting effect. The comp is interesting but I feel the squirrel could be better defined if it didn't appear so much like the branch...

    Dave, I'm really liking the Fractalius treatment. Maybe a little less Fract. on the branch? Only MHO.:)

    Hey Dave,
    The fractilized effect is pretty cool! Maybe if the branch was a touch darker and the squirrel lighter?.......just something to ponder.
    Very nice job combining components to make a very effective comp.

    Dave, I really like the effect. It's kind of like a scary movie, where something has started growing on everything in sight... It looks like the squirrel sat there too long and got assimilated!

    Wonderful effect, Dave. I love the composition. Dark background makes this image come alive - one from the scary movie or star trek perhaps!
