B/A Dunlin Resting

[denise ippolito]

I removed some extra birds and cloned some shadows. then added canvas. I did a slight frac. to soften the look. Added a couple of borders.

sweet, that's a lot of work.
One option would be using ReMask and then fix the bg(save a lot of cloning)
My absolute fav part of the image though is the new sig.......very creative

Dave, Thanks! I wasn't sure if anyone would notice;)

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Good work D, and it looks like a lot. I like the soft look to your images lately. Love the sig too.

[denise ippolito]

Indranil and Cheryl, Thankyou both. I appreciate it.

[Christopher Miller]

Very nice work, Denise. Love the sleepy pose and soft look.

[Cindy Mead]

wow, that's some serious cloning work. I'm not that good with the clone tool, and would probably have given up on this one. I really like the details the fract. adds to the birds' plumage, but the sand looks a bit odd. If it were mine I'd get rid of the dark horizontal line behind the bird. Lovely work as always Denise :)

Christopher and Cindy Thankyou for your comments. Much appreciated.
Cindy, It's not sand it's a rock on the jetty.:)
