I saw Bob Miller's use of the Flood filter. I had not heard of it, but was intrigued. This Osprey shot was flying away, and against a bare sky. Uninteresting. I tried the Flood filter, and added some simplification from Topaz. This is a first attempt with Flood, but I think it has real potential.
To get this straight, the bird was photographed against a sky background and the filter added the water, the reflections, and the ripples?

Thanks for your comments. There is a slight halo around the Osprey, but it is slight on my print. It seems to have been accentuated when I converted this image to web format. Not sure why. I am having fun with Flood! I am posting a flower pic treated with Flood.
