Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Tue, 06/11/13 17:08 I thought on opening the thumbnail for this picture that I was looking at a forest fire with the crows silhouetted against a raging fire... obviously it is the effects that you applied that resulted in that sense. Interesting feel to the image! Comments by Ernest Cadegan on Tue, 06/11/13 17:55 Interesting with lots of impact although not really my cup of tea. Reminds me of something Leslie Hancock would do. And, that's a compliment if you remember his work. Comments by Larry Moran on Tue, 06/11/13 19:10 Interesting but seems harsh to me. Perhaps you could experiment with Channel Mixer, Selective Color or Hue/Saturation. Comments by Sandi MacDonald on Wed, 06/12/13 06:30 The comp is good but the colors are very harsh for me. Try Larry's suggestion...;-) Comments by Michael Meek on Wed, 06/12/13 10:20 This picture kept shouting out at me whenever I looked inside the folder containing it. Obviously, whenever something shouts at you, you must consider it. I had to open it in PS from LR in order to see what I had done to render it: three levels of gradients of different hues and different blending modes. Anyway, crows blasting through overly overdone dramatic skies is what I got and I'm holding onto it if only because I have nothing else like it anywhere in my files! I told my wife that I had ordered a 36" print to go over the fireplace. She looked at me silently as if I had at long last met the final qualifications for medical intervention. Thanks for looking and for your impressions. Comments by Ernest Cadegan on Wed, 06/12/13 10:31 I'm sure you will be very happy with it. It's a very good spirited interpretation.
