Weekly Theme: Egret Flight
I haven't used this filter much, so I've enjoyed experimenting with it and viewing everyone's work this week. For this one, I used pyramid at 15, then masked back some details. I then boosted the colors a bit and finished by using liquify just a little bit to swirl some of the sky. Thanks for looking!
Nice image and application, Cindy.
I might have raised the bird slightly in the frame, to center it on the extrude impact point. But ...
Your image ... your vision. ;)
I like the twirl in the BG Cindy. I think Mark has a neat idea with the bird's head eye are being placed near the center. Lovely subdued colours with great pastels.
I particularly like the blue swirl's above the bird. I wish for a slightly better head angle as it is angled slightly away from the viewer.

Nice twist on the theme Cindy(sorry I couldn't resist!!) I love the softer colors and the masked back in details.
Beautiful composition, Cindy. The swirl makes the difference. Lovely colors and pattern.
I think its very good thinking out of the box and use of the extrude filter, nice one, Cindy
Excellent combination of filters Cindy, I really like this! Nice pastel colors and just enough of the swirl. Lovely!

Always enjoy your work. Beautiful blend of colors and detail/watercolor-like. I do like the flowing lines from just above the head that brings the viewer's eye to all parts of the image. Also, like the detail in the bird's face/eye.
Cindy, Love this one! The swirls really make it stand out. Great idea and execution.

Thank you all so much for your comments. I truly appreciate them
Mark, good idea about centering for the extrude. I'll have to try that.
Ah yes, the HAP. I try to get away with that in OOTB, Artie.:)
