I added a fractalius soft filter and Nik Color Efex for the blue cast. I sees some banding but wanted to share it anyway. I think they are expecting a boy!

This is too good. It looks so fluffy. If I am correct this was the nest far away in harsh light on the afternoon that the two sea lions ran right at me.... Or was this from the panga? Either way the look is amazing.

Very very cool looking Denise.
Love the overall look and feel of this shot. The softness and PP work is outstanding (as usual), but for me, those clear blue eyes put this over the top.
Very nice effect..love the blue eyes. Some day I'll see this species
Thanks Artie, This was taken from the panga.Originally Posted by Arthur Morris
Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I appreciate it.
Paul, This was my first time seeing this species. It was a thrill.:)
Wonderful comp and frac effect. The head and eye detail really add to this domestic scene. Beautiful!
I like this. This species has such wonderful blue eyes. Would returning the colour work in this picture?
Beautiful subject for this effect, I love the interaction going on. And it looks like they are sitting on a pile of feathers. Those eyes are exquisite (with or without the effect!). Why do you think it's a boy? :)
Thank you all for your comments. I appreciate them.
John, I do have a copy w/ the original colors but felt this worked best for the theme. Hope I answered your question?:)
Denise, I love this! It has such a peaceful feel to it. I love the composition:)

Love the "fluffiness" and the tint you applied. Nice glimpse into the nesting behavior. Love those eyes!

You did a stellar job on this one! The fract work with a soft touch is beautiful and the eyes really put it over the top.
Thanks folks, I appreciate it. I almost tossed this one
D,
I have always been a fan of the blue selenium color look and your choice to use it in this images as well as the rest of your pp makes this image great. I love the story & the color in their eyes.
Beautiful work.
