    Hi guys. Lots of Topaz filters used - DeNoise, Detail, Simplify, and Clean plus a bit of Pixel Bender oil paint. Finally, a vignette in Nik CFX Pro.

    Super cool! Love the starkness of the small white egret against the motion, colors and lines of the bkgd. Just a tiny thought, there are 2 small twigs in the URC that catch my eye too much.

    I'm glad the egret is there, but it would be a fantastic image even without it. The colors, texture, and diagonals in the trees are wonderful.

    I like what PB has done to the branches on the tree and the leaves...leaving just enough detail in the egret...nice one Kerry

    Kerry, this is one of those images that has an already strong composition enhanced by the artistic filtering...my only comment would be that I would have liked to have seen a version with a bit more of the detail masked back into the egret. Wonderful lines, patterns, textures...great eye!

    Kerry, I like the way this one came out! Such a beautiful flow and the birs small in the frame works so well here with all the background interest!

    Very nice filtering Kerry. Love the effect it has had on the trees and the trees in the background are placed perfectly too.
