Sanderlings Waveside Impressionistic

This is designed to give an impression of the classic Sanderling behavior of scooting single file along the edge of a wave in search of food, then bursting upward to evade a breaking wave. I managed to catch an upward burst here, in the original photograph. I then applied many filters from CS3 and Flaming Pear on layers and blended.

Hmmm... now I look at it here, I think it could use another crop up from the bottom edge...
