Open, Cattle Egret

[Dave Phillips]

A cattle egret from last spring.
Fractalius as 30% normal over original, flattened, dupe
and Xero lithograph at 30% normal. Burned in bg for depth.

thanks for looking in and c/c

Dave, The pose, the details, the depth all come together nicely on this one. I love it!!Nice work. Did that semi-poster effect come from the litho or frac? It adds so much to the image.

[Patti Edens]

Nice work Dave! This really has a 3D look to it. I was also curious about the question Denise asked.

[Dave Phillips]

thanks for comments.....if you are referring mainly to the effect in the leaves,
that came after the frac at 30% opacity. But some posterization and the black
speckles came from the Xero lithograph

Thanks Dave, It looks good and adds a bit to the image IMO. I'll have to give the combo of filters a try.:)

Dave, I love the pose. I think that combo of filters makes some nice images:)

I love the etching effect and the depth you achieved here is terrific. Wonderful use of filters, and a marvelous image :)

Excellent image and an equally impressive use of filters for the effect. Love that intense look and the leaves.
