Electronic Bird Art - ElectroBirds!

...when you have fun with the Glowing Edges filter in Photoshop, our favorite feathered friends take on a new, hip, hot, and electrified image! I can dig it, baby...

Chestnut-sided Warbler made hip with glowing edges.

American Goldfinch--Vegas style!

A juvenile American Bald Eagle leaps to his nest. Truly, though, it's electrifying seeing him even without the glowing edges!

A Red-shouldered Hawk is beautiful in neon...

...the same Red-shouldered Hawk on his return flight is just as striking.

Even a Brown Pelican becomes cool when he's powered on...

...but a sweet little Sanderling seems a little out of place in his hipster garb!

  8. These are wonderful! I love them all! I'm beginning to think I want the full fledged version of Photoshop, but guess I should work more with my Elements first.

  9. Ha!
    You're going to become one of us dangerous ones with the photoshop too :D
    It's interesting to see what goodies the programmers created, isn't it?
    I've spent many an moment trying out every different effect on the same graphic. It's addictive.

  14. Oddly, I like the sanderling best though all of them are super cool in their neon glow!

  15. Kelly, you always come up with something new. These images are storybook magical. I think I like the first one best: a contradiction, the bird looking for prey doesn't realize how visible he is.

  19. ...thanks, everyone. I usually only use Photoshop to reduce a photos size and save it for the web, but every now and then I play with the filters. ElectroBirds was the result this time. I can't believe how easy it is to create a new piece of art from a photo--it's almost disturbing! It takes so long when you do it with a paintbrush. Of course, when you do it with a paintbrush, the process is the enjoyment.
