Oiled Pelican

[Kerry Perkins]

But this one doesn't need to be rescued, unless it is from my Pixel Bender oil derrick! But seriously, I threw the book at this one - Topaz Detail and Clean, then PB oil paint. Oh yeah, love that filter! It is probably the best reason to get CS5.

P.S. - original posted in ETL.

I really like your effect here, especially on the feathers. very cool.
For me, I think I would try a little less effect on the water and the upper beak. For some reason that area bothers me, but it's prob just me.

Really cool effect and pose Kerry. I just love Pelicans. I bet the original is a knockout!

Awesome image and application, Kerry.

Great detail!

[Brendan Dozier]

Super cool, Kerry! The nice rich combination of filters applied really enhances that outrageous open bill pose. Very nicely done!

Very nice effect, Kerry.

What is "PB oil paint"?

[Andrew McLachlan]

Kerry, this is fantastic. Love it!

Allen - Pixel Bender oil paint filter. Pixel Bender is a free Adobe image engine with lots of interesting effects. The oil paint filter was added in CS5 but you can also get PB for CS4.

Thanks - I had bookmarked Pixel Bender plug-ins, but didn't think of it when you used "PB".

Ah, it's so nice to see someone else has gone over to the "oil" side. Great image and processing, Kerry!
