Bluebird in flight

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted April 8, 2010182 views10 comments

I really liked the flying pose in this photo. Unfortunately the light was harsh and the bird was soft. I posterized the image and darkened the background.
This is just for fun. All comments good and bad are welcome.

This is one of the joys of photo art. The beginning image needs to be a pretty good one, but no need for perfect. Then you can play with the filters and see what inspires you.
Really nice -

I like the bg color Dan and the posterization certainly sharpened up the bird and increased the contrast. Good looking blue bird image to me.

What a nice save for this bird Dan. The position of the bird is exquisite and looks terrific as photo art.

Love this, Dan. This is one of my favorite filters. If used on the right photo, some beautiful art can be produced. This is one of them.
