Well, its art is what it is M8t :) You know, using the software is one thing, but to take a great shot to begin with is another. My hat's off to ya Mike in far more ways than one. Excellent work and effects again sir :) :)

Love this one too Mike. The birds really pop off that BG. A wonderful Japanese feel here.

This just takes me back to Botswana and my first sighting of the rare Wattled Cranes taking off from a waterhole in early morning haze. I remember watching the slow and graceful flowing beat of their wings as they swept upwards into the dawn. Your image here of what I presume to be Sandhill Cranes is like a flashback for me - and beautifully done Mike! :)
