PB Spoonbill

[Nancy Bell]

Now that I have found Pixel Bender I will find all sorts of images to use it on! Two layers of PB (oil painting) with opacity change and curves.

One of the more interesting versions of the spoonbill...well done

I'd tell you that you have an awesome subject, that's well exposed and beautifully composed but that would seems rather self serving.
I will say that I find your use of the PB filter very effective.

The Spoonie really pops off the page!

Hi Nancy, I like this and you chose a nice base image. I might try to reduce the outlining if it were mine. Nice job and I can't wait to see what else you come up with using this filter!

[Susan Candelario]

Hi Nancy,
I see you are having fun with PB... good for you! I really like the effect you created. Pushing the sliders a bit more will create the outline around the image, which in this case I think it looks good as a small frame blending around the image. Nice job!

Hey Nancy,
I like the idea of pulling back a bit on the effect....only around the bill and head.....the rest really works for me!

[Andrew McLachlan]

Hi Nancy, wonderful first image with PB. Love the effect. Agree with a little less effect as Roman suggests. Nice work!

[Nancy Bell]

Yes, I think the bill at the base especially is a little too distorted. Back to the fun drawing board . And James, I certainly agree that the base image was brilliant! Thanks for letting us play with it.
