These are the original images, along w/composite image. I used the magic wand, for way too long,..as a selection tool, cropped the geese. Used a liquify filter when I couldn't get rid of all the bits around the geese, and gave them motion. Enhanced the moon after with something, hue/saturation,..multiply,..and the geese , I believe filtered under screen, or multiply.
The second shot, well, ghostly, a bit. I really thought it worked, on some level, I liked the way the horses legs looked like they were floating, across the frost, could of spent more time, yet couldn't.I gave the horses a motion bur, not sure if I really like or not,..all good fun!

Wow! This looks great. It's so dark and eerie. It looks like an oil painting. I can't wait to see what else you come up with in Photoshop.
Spooky and cryptic! Love it! This could be a movie poster or book cover... do you have a tag line to go with it? Once upon a moonlit night, they will all take flight, under the cover of velvet skies they fly, their eerie signatures momentarily cast upon clouds, never to be seen from the ground... (insert spooky music here). :0) two thumbs up!
This picture came out really crazy. Are these the geese that were taking off in another picture (I get everyone's shots confused at this point)? What tools did you use to extract them?
So I just compared your original geese picture to this one and I'm wondering if you used some sort of filter over it; I can almost line the two shots up perfectly, but the geese in the new one almost look like streaking lights in a wide shutter. Just curious how you did this.
I so agree. This photo looks like an oil painting it was SO worth the time it must have taken you! How many layers did you use to achieve this?
