shot of a turaco from the Busch Gardens aviary...)thanks Carol for the id)

EOS 3 w/Canon 75-300 USM IS w/550ex w/diffuser
Agfa 100 Ultracolor
ISO 100
f/5.6
shutter unrecorded

Scanned into photoshop; adjusted levels and cloned out whites in background; added some blur to background then some gothic glow; finally added a heavy canvas texture and brush stokes to make it look like an oil....

Nice textures in this Mike. The colours are glowing and very much a canvas effect in this one. Oh you did use a canvas effect, Doh!!. Exellent work Mike.

No clue on the bird but the effect is pleasing.

Looks like one of the Turaco species Mike!

The colours and style of the bird go well with the effect you used!!

Too bad I can't add the scent of oil paint to the image. That's one thing that bums me about about photography...nothing is better than the smell of oil paint and turpentine in the morning.....
