This is very Cool Sandy, :cool:
I second Lucy's comments, your Birds are getting better and better.
Well done on this Egret, I really like how the beak and eye maintain a feel of reality and the feathers appear as from a fantasy world.

Stunning, Sandy. You have great control of the filter. I like your decision to keep the face realistic and letting the feathers take on the filter. Well done.

Very nice use of Fractalius, Sandy! This looks like it was a great portrait to begin with. I like the pose, the realistic face, and the look of the feathers from the filter. Congratulations on the WP!
