    Default Celestial egret

    I've been working on this off and on for several weeks. I originally used Xero Titanium filter and probably used a difference blend then added a filter from here and blended it in selectively. I'm not sure what else I did but I think I used a slight distort filter and also changed some of the colors. I wanted to depict my image of birds as being both celestial and water beings.
    Thanks for looking. C&C appreciated.

    Cheryl, It does have a celestial look to it. I like the bold colors and the star adds a nice touch. The only part that I might work on is the green line on the top of the head. I also see some straight lines in the URC and on the edge of the bird. They look like remnants of an overlay which I kind of like-I would just add more or evict them if it were mine. Nicely done.

    This looks like a modern art painting Cheryl. I really like the interesting background. I think your idea of "celestial water" is conveyed nicely.

    I really like the interesting BG you created with this, Cheryl. It does have both an aquactic and celestial feel to it. I'm wanting just a bit more detail in the Egret, but very creative!
