Incoming Avocet!

[Indranil Sircar]

I was looking for an image and came across this one taken in 2009... I liked how the birds were separated as they came in for landing... For processing, I used Topaz Clean and pb oil and then used layer masks to open up the layers bellow. Hope you like it...

Gorgeous! Love the colors and detail and clean look of these birds. Also the different wind positions. They stand out nicely against the grey sky.

Indranil, Nice group shot, I like the background, the separation and the filtering. Nicely done.

[Julie Kenward]

I'd have to put this as one of your all-time best images, Indranil! Love the effects of the processing and the separation between each bird. A-mazing!

[Indranil Sircar]

Thanks you so much, I appreciate it.

I meant to write different "wing" positions.

I meant to write different "wing" positions.

Thanks Anita... I assumed it was "wing"

Very nice indeed Indranil. What a great opportunity that you capitalized on so nicely. I agree with comments above, and would add that your addition of a small sliver of trees in the bottom of the image really adds to the interest factor by providing a sense of place and scale. Very nicely done.

Hey Indranil,
I like the effect too and the addition of the base really adds to the overall appeal.

[Indranil Sircar]

Kerry, Roman, thanks a lot, I appreciate it.
