    Default Baltimore Extrude

    I've been really working on macro images for the past few weeks, this is an image from today..a Baltimore Butterfly, gave me a perfect view. I used the extrude effect, which I didn't even know existed until today.
    I really like the results, tried many combo's this one I liked.

    Paul, Glad you found a new filter. How did you get the wave look in the BG? Or is that just the way it rendered? Nice composition and the colors are pleasing.:)

    I think that I would have liked this better without the butterfly being extruded (whatever that is) :)

    I like the wave, too. Another fun combination might be to place the unextruded butterfly on the extruded background. I love to play around with such stuff. You did a nice job here.

    Curious about the BG too Paul, was it liquify or distort? I like the effect. Hope you got some good macro shots.

    I like this one with the butterfly extruded. Nothing I tried looked good with the subject extruded, but to me, this one does. I am also interested in how you got the wave action on the extruded blocks in the background. That really looks cool.

    Filter:
    Stylize:
    Type: Blocks
    Size: 30
    Depth: 45

    Solid Front Faces and Mask Inc. Blocks: Not Selected
    Differently cropped, unextruded image above

    Paul, Unique and graceful effect with the BG. I like how the extrusion centers (L&R) on the butterfly.

    Paul, really good workout of the filter! I'm loving the background and I agree with Artie regarding the BF - might be cool to see it without the treatment. Nice!

    Paul, I really like the wave and leaf extruded. Colors are great and I like the butterfly extruded:)

    Thanks all for feedback

    Here's the same image with butterfly unextruded...wished I'd feathered the edge a bit better
