    Actually, I think that it came to me while doing my morning meditation....

    Anyway, this was a dime a dozen image on my last Homer IPT.

    Don't be shy; all comments welcome.

    ps: I'd be glad to share the Fractalius #s if anyone is interested. I save lots of pre-sets.

    Beautiful composition and a dynamic effect. The wings look like flames.

    This is electrifying! I love how full of energy the eagle is and the glowing colors. The blues in the water are the perfect contrast.

    Really nice energy and motion in this one. Electrifying is a good word! I really like how the head is masked back to make it clear and sharp. Super!

    Beautiful frac work on this, Artie. Wonderful dynamic & electric composition, love the highlights on the water and wings. It helps to have a great base image to work with too!

    Stunning image, Artie! A true masterpiece! The pose is terrific, and the glowing look from the frac filter adds even more energy and interest to the image. I like that you left the detail in the head. Well done!

    Artie, I love, love, love this one too I especially like the fact that you revealed the head but left the feet fracted. I'd love to know the #'s.

    Hey Cheryl, This "repost" should work :). Sorry that it took a few days to figure out how to do it.

    I should have mentioned: this started with the Glow 50 pre-set. Followed by lots of tweaking .

    Artie, thanks a bunch for the screen shot I wish Redfields would identify what your last used preset was - I sometimes forget to write down my workflow. Actually, I think I'll see if I can do a print screen on images that I really liked and then save them as a document or jpg for future reference.

    YAW. I think that if you get in the habit of naming and saving a new "pre-set" after working on each image that you will be fine....
