SonyA100~Tamron 200-500mm@500mm~ISO100~F6.3~1/1000 sec~9-20-2007~Anahuac NWR, Texas~CS4/ Redfield Fractalius
I took this picture several years ago. Several months ago I did the dup layer/ convert top layer B&W/ find edges/merge mode: overlay/flatten. Then the other day I applied fractalius to the image.
comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

Bill, I love the fractalius for the BG but wish that the birds didn't have it. They seem lost in there. The reflection,the reeds and the water all look fantastic!

Nice image and application, Bill.

Like the effect. Fitting for the environment. Not out of place, as is often the case.

like it......maybe a bit less on the birds as Denise noted, but overall really nice sir

I like the bright, colorful look of the photo and treatment.

Nice work Bill, it looks like a stained glass pane! I do wish that the right most stilt was a little more seperated from its BG, but, it is what it is!
