While at the Barnegat jetty yesterday. I spotted a Harbor Seal(hope the ID is correct)sunbathing so I had to frac. it.I masked back in some detail. I thought it was so cute,I wanted to share.

PS HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

The frac almost looks like water reflections. Nice shot and I like the soft feel to it D.

my initial thought was exactly as Jackie's.....water reflections all over the seal.
As an exercise, try one similar on a selection of the seal only.....I think the halo
may be a bit overpowering......just an option to an already sweet image

Denise, really nice image. I haven't played with Fractalius yet, but you guys are driving me to it. Shame the mid Atlantic meet was a blowout.

Dave, I like the frac. on the BG but agree the halo is a bit strong-will rework it in AM. Thanks:)

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
Dave, Sorry the GTG didn't happen-I was looking forward to meeting both you and your wife.:)

Very cute image, Denise! :) I love the raised flipper and backwards look of the seal. Nice-looking frac effect.

Dave, Here it is w/ just the Seal frac'd

[Dave Phillips]

for my taste, I like this much more without the strong halo......nice work
