Another fine creation, Sandy. I like soft application of the filter, and the soft pallet of color.

Have you tried the new Fractalius version? I haven't, but was curious how it compared to the original.

Rob, I downloaded the new version, but it isn't attaching to my Photoshop, so this is still with the original version. Since they wanted $39 for the new version, I hope there are some worthwhile improvements!

Hey! Fractalius is really something. It can even glamorized a Wood Stork!

Great shot; congrats for the Pick.

Sandy,
Just saw this image and I'm blown away by it. Nice use of the filter and what a subject to apply it to. That background is stellar as well. Super congrats on the WP. Well deserved.

Sandy - this is pretty incredible. I think I've liked every one of your fractalius creations, but some seem to be extra special, and this one just sings. Clearly a pretty fantastic image to start with...great pose and head turn, LOVE the feather detail on his neck accentuated by the filter, and the background is just fabulous. You definitely have an amazing collection in this "series." Congrats on yet another well-deserved WP as well.

Stunning image. Words are inadequate to describe my visceral reaction.
