I took a plan blur shot and adjusted the perspective to make it a panoramic shot and then added a dry brush effect for a painterly look.

Here is the original:

My how thats changed the perspective of the original Greg. Made it sleeker with that slight angle. Love the motion in the original and it shows up well here M8t :shock: No idea how you take bird shot like this, way beyond me. Nice vertical crop that works.

All the best way up north, nice effect and work. Go on, I have to use at least two :) :) :wink:
