    Hi Sandy, quite a nice Fractalius image! Love the glow and the colors, and the background texture really makes a nice canvas for your avocet. Nice composition and base image too. Might like to see the eye just a bit clearer! Thanks for posting and playing "hooked on Fractalius"!! Nice to see you here!

    Lovely image, Sandy! I really like how the Fract waved and elongated the bill of the bird. Beautiful BG as well.

    Nice job Sandy, what a nice looking bird and more "fun with frac". I am just a little bothered by the area by the wings across the body, looks a little too manipulated. Not sure if that was just something that frac did??

    I think it is beautiful. I presume to clean up or make changes you would do that back in Photoshop. I am new to Fracting too and look forward to learning more as I go along.

    I think this technique will soon be too overused. However, this one, plus the one Artie did of the 2 herons, along with the first one Denise posted are my favorites.

    Love the near-wing position and the fracted look. Would love to see the orange de-SATTED and more room in front of the bird.

    Sandy, Big Welcome I 'm glad you decided to join our Fracting party! Great looking image and the blue BG really pops it off the page. You could tone down the whites just a tiny bit.:)

    A very pleasing creation to view - nice use of the fract filter.
