Fract-crowned Night Heron
I worked with this image for quite a while and ended up using three different Fractalius layers to get the look I wanted. Final image sharpened with Topaz InFocus. Eye and bill were masked back in for detail and color.

Fabulous image Kerry, I love it! I never thought of using more than one rendering of Fractalius and combining them. Thanks for the inspiration!
Kerry,
You indeed are an inspiration. Beautiful work with Fractalius. I love the drama, colors and the reflection in the water that draws the eye inward. Well done and one of my favorites of yours.

Kerry, Really nice looking base image. I like the fract effect and the revealed eye and bill. Nicely done.
Superb image, Kerry! The lighting and frac work are just awesome. It also helps that the original image is superb too.
That is excellent Kerry! Once again, just the right amount of effects & filters. Love the reflection and black BG really makes it dramatic. Well done!
This is grand! Very dramatic!
Wow, Kerry! Amazing pose and the added frac effects are stunning. Thanks for sharing you process.
Hi Kerry, your extra work with the multiple layers has really paid off well for you. Love the image.
This is wonderful image and composition, Kerry. Love the multiple fract effect on what already is a fantastic base image. TFS.
A fine piece Kerry! Super original capture, I love the black BG and the fract work! YOU DA MAN!
I been looking at this since you posted, wondering what to say...All I can say is I'd put this up on my wall if it were mine...lovely result, frac, pose...TFS
