 This was good learning for me as the seagull in the original was not bright enough so I ended up seleceting it with magnetic lasso and brighteneing it on its own layer,never done that before!

here is the original

crop
luko sharpening
select seagull
brightness/contrast
multiply 51%

colourdodge 67%

overlay 100%

rotate screen 25%

Nice composition and great textures to makes this look like some Pollack painting!

What a texture combo. They really work well together.

I'm glad you found out about the magnetic lasso. I use it a lot. It's a lot easier than extracting something.

Love this texture with that bird. It is just missing a splash two to three inches below his tail area for total impact!

The thing I love about this overlay on this image, is that it does look like bird droppings in parts - SMILE!
