(Molten) Lava Shearwater

[Dan Brown]

I guess this is a Sooty Shearwater getting sooty. I added a red photo filter at about 95% to a bg copy, then ran fractalius, then added a yellow photo filter to the results. C&C welcome.

Very cool effect..really does look like lava flowing...I'd love to get a closeup like this of a sooty shearwater....

Dan, Very nice capture! Love the effect and the colors. It seems a tiny bit tight on the right side and I might take a sliver off the bottom if it were mine. Nice Fracting!

[Mark Fuge]

Definately different, Dan.

Like it!

Thanks, folks. Paul, come on down and do a pelagic trip out of monterey in the fall. These guys follow the boat for chum!

Very nice, Dan! I like the pose... just a bit tight on the right. Awesome color and effect. Excellent processing!
