    Something different. I used Fotosketcher ? and then PB, circlesplash and I think that's it. C&C welcome.

    Sitting here in the airport in Winnipeg, its raining (what else is new). Image is colorful and certainly OOTB, I wonder what it would look like if you masked some of the birds details back in...just a thought.
    Well done

    The bubbly is cool effect, Dan. I like the overall compostion, very OOTB! Think Paul makes a good suggestion.

    Thanks guys! I played with that idea and just couldn't come up with something that I liked, as this bubbly thing is so far from reality! I'll revisit!

    Here's a version with the bird and some of the bg reveled. I think it is an improvement but maybe this is too ootb? The tech may come in handy in the bag-o-tricks sometime though!

    Agree; the repost is a huge improvement. I especially like that you left more of the effect on the rear of the bird than on the head....

    I also prefer the second post as the eye in the OP was so vacant that I couldn't connect with the bird. In the second I can really make that connection.

    Dan, sweet capture to start with and I appreciate what you were doing with the original post. Very different and creative, but I have to say I like the repost better. For me it is all about the eye.
