Creative interpretations: Bird - Swans Reflecting

[DannyRaphael]

Can swans reflect? Who knows.

Anyway, a pretty photo courtesy of www.Wallpaperbase.com.

Hi,
I luv swans.
I cropped the left swan and pasted him onto the original so that I could move him even w/ the other one, and I do believe they're the same swan. Then I used Buzz Pro, played with the blend modes for my layers, cropped a bit, and finally used Xero soft vignette.

This was made with an impressionist filter style created by you, Danny.
Refer thread "Impressionist plugin: Custom styles (member posted)", page1.
Style: Impressionist Oil #24.
Hope you like it.

I used Painter auto clone to start. Then PS for various filters, blend modes, and apply image.

New Canvas - pink and white clouds using Mura Meister Cloud Filter
(see http://www.geocities.com/murakuma/mmplugins.html)

Selected lower half of image - Flaming Pear Flood

Selected swans from original image and pasted into new image.

Applied shadows and water swirls (Using Redfield plugins)
(see www.RedfieldPlugins.com)

The frame was done by adding a border and filling with a colour (3 times of 10 pixels, 30 pixels and 10 again applying slight drop shadows also)then filter applied each time also i.e. Greg's Pool Shadow...(I use this filter a great deal...!)

The small stars are done using another free filter ..

Hi Danny,

I came across your picture and thought it would make an interesting image.

I cut your swans out of the background and pasted them into a photo I took years ago. Added a bit of colour to help them blend into the scene.

Hope you like the fusion.

It never ceases to amaze me how creative some people are. This is just another example that reaffirms that notion, Con. Well done.
