    The bateluer eagle is much more regal than depicted here. I added canvas to the original and rotated a bit to make the flip work. I used Topaz Adjust color pop and some selective sharpening to finish. Thanks for looking.

    Good one Cindy! Great base image to start with and I love the flip. It makes for a strange, but believable, birdy!

    Cindy, I love the colors and the flip, especially the extras that show up, such as the statue on his chest and the little face at the top of the perch with talon horns.

    Cindy, Really creative. I agree w/ Paul-it looks like it is holding a Buddha statue. Very neat!

    Cindy, I love the image with the Buddha on his chest and the gargoyle at his feet:)

    Thanks, Cheryl. The buddha and gargoyle were purely accidental flip results.
