Tell me about it Sliver Effex and CEP, a bit of glam glow I reckon??

The conversion is SEP2, yes. The painterly effect is derived from Topaz Simplify's "buzz sim" setting, tweaked quite a bit. There's a touch of Color Efex Pro, "darken/lighten center" and a little "pro contrast", no glam glow. Topaz Simplify made it glow.


Ok thanks, I don't have topaz, I used it once on trial and over did it, I think that was a sign.

Wow I really love this one, it makes me want to soar dramatic or what, bumping up, this is a MARVEL!

Originally rated this a 6 but I had to come back and bump it to an 8. The detail on the wing is impressive and the capture of the other birds and the blurring of the back ground is quite interesting.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Black & White tones are just fantastic! Love the viewpoint of these birds taking flight. I feel as if I am standing there observing as they fly overhead. The inclusion of just the one wing that takes prominence in the frame makes this very different than just a shot of birds in the air. It makes it unique in showing off a part of the bird that takes flight while we see all the others soaring above.

Taken as if I am the leading gull, beautiful and unique flight shot. The painterly plug-in effect (Topaz Labs?) is also risky troll-wise for a DPC "FS" but appealing.
