Firebird - Fractaliused

[jfranciskay]

Was fooling around with the Fractalius Plug in and quite liked the way this one came out. Looks like I did hours of PS work, but it was so simple. Pretty much the Glow-100 preset...

I like it. You might try a version with a blacker BKGR. What is the species?

Jim, Nice job with the filter. The Glow 100 looks great. I think if you masked back in just a little more detail in the eye it would really stand out as special. Very nicely done.

Like the fract treatment on this image, Jim. Suggests 'Firebird' to me:)

[jfranciskay]

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually did lighten the eye a bit already, but I will try your idea as well.

I believe the species is a red-tail hawk???

Here is the original (taken at a county fair):

Thanks Jim. Where was the image created? Was it a free and wild bird?

[jfranciskay]

Sorry Artie, should have been more clear. It was at a county fair in captivity (wish I had a lens this long to get a shot in the wild this close :))

Super Fract image, Jim! Agree that more sharpness in the eye would be great and a little darker BG would be nice but this is also lovely. I'm amazed at what the Fract did to the inside area of his eye...that is wild!

[Christopher Miller]

Stunning! Love the "fiery" frac work, really pops against the dark BG. The eye is superb. :)
