vijayan-
I really like the effects you created in Flair Bird - the colors and composition are ethereal! Well done!

This guy was done with buzz simplifier, Xero's lithograph and Flaming Pear's Aetherize.

Photoshop: My favorite is Roger's version. But I love them all.

Not really had much time for this one so kind of a rush job, so excuse the sloppiness of this piece.

May provide details, but alas off to work I go !!

Found this image and had to have a go, used the ah brush and the history brush and of course flipped him

Thanks dc, Yours is fine though not a lot of differences, Steve like your wall sketch are you perhaps a former graffitti artist ?

[Steve Conway]

Nah...just a Bible-method, (seek and ye shall find), computer junkie.

But Thanks.

How do you all get in here and do so many renderings before I even see the thread? LOL

Great stuff, folks

I wanted to put this heron into my backyard or lakeside setting. They are very common here in south central Florida.

very nice Swampy your part of the world seems very appealing

dee dee,

i like it, but i think there's something a bit off on it. the plants in the foreground look like they shld be OVER the heron, not behind. something about the depth and relative sizes of the plants and heron there that makes me think so. otherwise, pretty incredible.

yup, we have great blues here in kentucky also. the folks have a regular fisherman on their lake that comes in and wades the shores.

You're right, Craig. The perspective is off, but If I made the bird smaller he wouldn't get his glory. LOL...

Artistic license!!!

[Kraellin]

hehehe, ok, i wont tell if you wont

Abstract attempt... Duplicate layer (1), rotate canvas, add blank layer and apply filter texturizer (set blending layer to linear dodge), duplicate again layer (1) and add a layer style (drop shadow, inner shadow, color overlay), duplicate layer and apply a layer style (drop shadow, inner shadow, color overlay) and set blending mode to soft light.
Enjoy!

Staying with the abstract theme...

Layer rendering (see attached Layer Palette screen shot):
* Mike Finn's Executive Toy Photoshop action was used on another copy of the Background.
* Background duplicated. Blend mode = Luminosity
* I recently acquired the NIK Photo Abstract plugin, that has some funky filters. One filter, Pop Art, renders a unique effect similar to Photoshop's Posterize command, but more like looking at a contour map. This filter was applied to a copy of the Background. Blend mode = Linear burn
* Photoshop's Texturizer > Sandstone applied to a layer filled with 50% gray. Blend mode = Overlay
