Warm Flight

Hello Folks,
I haven't commented or posted here in awhile... been busy with a new additional website and direction. This image was taken last weekend. The upper right quarter of the image is from a RAW image from my D300. That image was processed in Lightroom and PS, then copied, pasted, and flipped. The water and reflection below that composite sky was created in PS. The bird is from my collection of bird images shot on the Gulf Coast of Fla. This image wound up being well over 100mb's. Please view the large image...

I love this. A very other worldy feel but happy. I just want to keep looking at it over and over again.

A wonderful creation Marc! It motion, flow, texture, a pleasing symmetry and classic comp. Love the one sharply focused gull in there. Top notch work. I'm impressed that you started with only 1/4 of the canvas as an image and "collaged" the rest. Wow. :cool:
