I did another treatment like I did on the water lilies.I'm trying to get a multiple exposure look w/ a bit of texture. I liked the very crowded look to this as it reminded me of the way they all huddled together. I used color efex,layering and cloning.

Nice image and application Denise.

You may want to clone the tone of the dark "spots" to agree with the rest of the image.

Mark, Thankyou for your comments. I think I like the dark spots but to balance the comp I think I will darken one of the birds in the center a bit. Here is my re-post.

I like the second one. It does look like aqua colored water. Very different.

[Christopher Miller]

Very nice, Denise. I like the aqua color and the random pattern of ducks. When I first saw the original, I was thinking that one or more darker ducks in the center would help balance the composition, and your repost solves that perfectly. If this was mine, I might try lightening it up a little bit. Not that the darker look is bad though; it depends on what your vision is for it.

Thanks Christopher, good idea. Let me know if this is what you had in mind.

[Joel Eade]

Very nice...the repeating pattern vaguely reminds me of an Escher print. The last version is the one I like best.

[Christopher Miller]

Repost looks nice, Denise! Maybe just have the mid tones a little darker.

[denise ippolito]

Thanks Joel and Christopher.I appreciate the feedback.
Christopher, I will try and tweak it a bit.
Joel, It does have a slight Escher print feel,doesn't it.
