Nesting Painted Stork

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted February 27, 201171 views3 comments

I was at Zoo Miami the other day and the Painted Storks were building their nests high up in the trees of the Aviary. With all the branches, netting, poles and other distractions, the only way to have a nice image was with digital art. After cloning away the distractions, I added a few textures and several filters from Color Efex 2.0. Comments Welcome....

Very nice result from your PP work. The sharply focused head against the lovely background really works well.

I like what you've done with this. You maintained the character of the stork while enhancing the rest of the image. The textures are a nice touch.
