About So tantalising, these flamingoes! Standing just too far to get any real detail. Had to use my zoom near enough full out to get this one. But liked the relections and the overall darkness of their location?

Hi Den,
Thanks for the great compliment.
And thanks for picking up on that black triangle!! I think it's just a rock or something, sitting or floating the water, but I'm just off to the original to clone it out!!
Best regards, Chris

Den Thompson   {K:30432} 7/14/2004
In all sincerity Chris, this is MAGNIFICENT. The PS work that you've done on it is tremendous. Even on a monitor it gives the impression of oil paint on canvas, and the feathers of the flamin joes is so detailed. One minor query though. What's the little triangular arrow on the LH side, in the tree reflection. It seems out of place. I may be nit picking, so shoot me down if I am.
Regards
Den

I am without words ... so please take this from me ... It is incredibly beautiful. I don't care how much of this is due to PS, the fact remains that you got the original which must have been great to start off with.

Incredible work Mr S!!

Thsi is one of your best photos, Chris. Outstanding work and what a beautiful reflection in the still water. You can almost turn the photo 180 degrees. Lovely serene scene, with a beautiful lighting. My sincere congratulations. Regards, Rob.

AHHHH well maybe I'll stick to the old method and use my brush ha-ha....thanks for the hint Chris.

Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 7/14/2004
Thanks, tim!
I'd love to tell you how I did this but time really doesn't permit! Except to say that it was done using a combination of layers, filter effects (including 'glowing edges' and 'dry brush' and 'gaussian blur'), blending modes and the art history brush!!
I've learnt most of what I now about Photshop from the excellent Digital Photo magazine!!
Kind regards, Chris
