Robyn Elliott, Egret in flight (Creative 2021)

I had a beautiful photo of an Egret taking off from a log in a river, however the background was messy and unappealing, so I created this artwork. Original photo was taken in afternoon light. In Photoshop, removed background and replaced with black, added reflection and fog.
