While these ibis are part of the large flocks that live yearround in the Glades, I've been noticing lately flocks of birds arriving from the cooler climates . . . only a matter of time before the season starts again...

This image was run through watercolor effects and autofx edges....mr. contrast as well....

What a cool edge!!!!!!!

The original must be nice as well Mike, the light is to die for and the purple sky is very complimentary. Purple/yellow is always right :wink:

Lovely work :)

Love the scene and the glowing colours Mike, the only thing that negatively catches my eye are the birds which get caught up in the edge effect ? 8) :D
