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.
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.:)
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"!
