Fooling around in blue...........
Took this image the other night............I let my mind wander with motion blur, Topaz simplify, liquify, and color balancing.........................Maybe it works, maybe not. I was intrigued by surreal effect. Rightmost wing needs rework..........
Comments welcome.............

Jay, I like the surreal look to this and the color really adds to that effect. It seems just a hair tight on the left. Nicely done.:)
Denise, thanks.......I agree on the left, I cropped before I played................:)
Jay, I like this a lot. Blue is my favorite color and I love this perspective on the swans. Very nice work, agree it's a bit scarce on the left. :cool: I like the effect on the bg sky.

Jay, where you come up with some of these combinations...wow! Love the blues in this and the BG is very surreal. If you ever rework it I'd love to see one where the whites showed through just a little bit more for comparison.
Thanks for the feedback folks...............her is re-work, larger and whiter birds. I couldn't save the exact blues as before, just a different look.
I like them both! They are both beautiful in their own ways and both evoke a different mood.
Hey Jay, it looks to me like your mind wandered in a good direction. :D
Both versions look good to me.
I agree with Jules and Ken, both versions look very nice! The blue color creates such a great mood. I love the effect on the wings. I wish the right swan had turned its head slightly like the left one. Might want to try copying the left swan's head and pasting it on the other one.
