    Default Cosmic Dance

    Sometimes I just get these ideas in my head...

    This image is a combination of a couple of PB filters, Topaz Detail, and Internet radio. Too much detail in the image for the 200k file size, but if you squint you can see it better. I was not happy with the soft-looking goose on the right, but there is only one goose in the original and the filter ate up all the sharpness. No, really...

    Very creative, Kerry! What were you smoking? I might smooth out the big geese with topaz clean or something if it were mine but it's your creation!

    Very creative Kerry! I'd like to see it simplified with just the two main geese I think. Nicely processed!

    Hey Kerry, Very imaginative. I see a small bit of a square at the bottom of the frame I might evict if it was mine and I might evict the straight line in the URC. I wish the filter didn't eat up the sharpness. This is very different for you and I like that you stepped out of the box!!!

    Well, that's about what I expected... I really wanted the effect but it hammered the IQ but I thought, what the heck - they can't hurt me over the Internet.

    I wish you could see the full resolution file, but oh well! Here's a version with a pass of clean. Thanks for humoring me this time!

    The repost is far better. What is a "pass of clean"???? I'll take some.

    Artie - once through the Topaz Clean filter. You don't even have to rinse.

    Kerry, it looks like your ideas are stretched light years! Cosmic dance is certainly with that realm! Love the idea and your execution. Are you watching "The Event" on NBC?
