Eggciting

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

This is an example of using the Flaming Pear Flood filter in CS3 - C&C appreciated.

I'm curious, what does the un-edited shot look like?

Very arty Chris.
I like how it even reflects the image into the 'water' :)

Good stuff.

Love it Chris. I've always been a big fan of the flood plugin and you've put it to good use here.

It's weird - just this afternoon I was watching Kubrick's 2001 - A Space Odyssey for the first time since I saw it at the movies as a teenager. This image is strangely reminiscent of that film..!

Just add a mayonnaise :lol: nice filter effect, but you should try put this egg with 90degree rotation - you can receive nice sunrise picture ;)
Good example of creativity with new software!

I've seen this flood effect a few times, is it something you buy for CS3, or is it a shareware kind of this?

I like both the first and third images. It is a bit of a shame the egg image is not sharper and the egg in the third a bit more straight, but on the whole I believe you are very creative. Is this filter part of CS3 or an extra add-on? Someone told me that the new CS3 is miles ahead of its predecessor.
