'The flasher' Just enough head turn to make it work-looks in great condition

I wish I had a window like yours :jump:
Great shot John.
I saw one myself yesterday in the low sun. It was just a bird made of polished copper.
Magnificent animal.

Cracking shot, the pose is a superb capture. Looks like he's showing off to the ladies.

A fine looking fellow. Nice pose John, but I always feel that this shot is crying out for some more wing-blur.

A stunning shot John, wonderfully sharp - and very best wishes for 2009! :wavey:

Super, my type of image... although I do agree a little more wing blur would have been nice....

All the best for 2009... hopefully up your way soon, once I find out how much repairs to the car will be.... :frown:

Phil... :wavey:

You rascal. Did you do that with the clockwork plug-in that comes with PS PRO? :biggrin:

Hi Eric
No - never seen that one.
Used Gausian blur - wind blur - different direction each wing -cut and paste separate layers- rotate each one different directions 25% - diffuse layers , blend etc, etc, and all sorts of other mucking about !
Funny old thing when an image is too sharp !
Passes the time ! :wink:
Cheers
