Thanks, Rod! Wish I could remember exactly what was going on in that instant, but I can’t…in fact, when I opened up this shot, I was a bit surprised. Maybe I caught that fleeting view into his true feelings of being captive…
David Bowie!! ‘The only thing I ever got from you was sorrow; sorrow’. Bet you know the song too. Magnificent animal & beautifully crafted art work Leslie!! Go kiss me under the mistletoe!! I really thought you knew it was an adult T design!! LOL xx
Thanks, Vadim! It is a great filter for animals, but even then, it still depends on the pic and also how it’s applied. I think your use of the filter on buildings is really nice. I’ve seen others with fantastic results on buildings and landscapes as well. :)
