Bathers

[Cheryl Slechta]

I used DAP Realism and then Starry Night on these preening terns. For some reason they reminded me of a cross between Renoir Bathers and Degas Dancers
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Cheryl, Love the whimsical feel to this one!

Very nice image and application, Cheryl.

Agree with Denise on the feel of this.

Too bad the upper right Tern didn't pose before the shutter clicked but like the image!

I'm not sure how you knew which filters to use, but it worked. The colors, composition, action, and look of the image are all very appealing.

Hi Cheryl, I think Denise nailed it with the lovely whimsical feeling.

Love the loose relaxed painterly style to this Cheryl, fits the peaceful scene. Nice base image with a good variety of different poses. Well done!

Great creativity! I really got a laugh with your comparision to Degas dancers & Renoir bathers! I grew up with prints of Degas dancers in my room and I really get what you are saying.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it. I hope everyone has a really nice (and safe) New Years Eve.

The processing on this is excellent. Reminds me of an impressionist painting. Great filter selection on this one. The orange bills add interest to the blue tones of the image. The reflections in the wet sand are great. Very, very well done!
