    Finally got around to purchasing Fractalius yesterday. I guess I qualify as a "late adopter"! Here's a tricolored heron using Glow 50. It's my first attempt, so any C&C welcomed!

    Nice work Mike. You picked a good image to apply this filter too. Excellent first fract. Please note: this is an addictive filter! :)

    Mike, super first try! Fractalius addiction is a serious problem... :cool: I like your base image and the use of the filter. Have fun exploring and I look forward to seeing more of your images!

    I like the choice of base image. All the motion works well with the filter I think. I also like that you kept the eye and beak sharp.

    Sweet one Mike. You might try a version with the bird's neck, primaries, and the upper surface of the far wing nearly black! Beautiful pose and head angle.
