    Default Spoonbill Forest

    This is an image of a Roseate Spoonbill at Merritt Island NWR, believe it or not!

    Modifications in CS4 included; Polar Coordinates (Polar/Rectangular); 180 Rotation; Topaz Detail; Topaz Clean; Topaz Adjust; Fractalius; Craquelure and Canvas Texture. I then moved it into DAP and ran it in Aquarell with max settings throughout. After which, I returned to CS4 and applied Brightness and Contrast (max); Dry Brush (max) and finally sharpened it.

    Enjoy!

    believe it or not!
    Mark, I'm going with NOT- final answer.:D It doesn't look anything like a spoonbill. BUT it does resemble a forest. Something different for sure. Nice border.:)

    Mark, amazing, abused, artistic, abstract. :) I can see the PC work but I'm NOT convinced it's a spoonbill! :D

    Thanks for viewing and comments ... YES, it is ... the head is there and the body is disfigured, as you may have guessed! ;)

    I'll post the original tomorrow and maybe point out the bird's features if no one gets it before then.

    I'm afraid I can't see it either, Mark. I can kind of see a tree in there, but no spoonbill! :D Love the bright colors.
    God Bless

    Thanks Christopher for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

    Ok then... here is the Rest of the Story! ;)

    The left image is the original and the right image is the modified image, prior to the DAP modification. The spoonbill is on the left in the right image. Right? :D :D

    The woods are the grass at it's feet.

    Now, do we see it! ;) :D

    I've personally been debating whether it would be a nice Christmas Card??? Have to consider it iwth the color and the "tree"!
