Played bigtime with this one; made it a painting with
brush strokes & edge preserving smoothness & I also
did some selective colour boosting too. I tried to
make the framing similar to the sandy background ~
the sun spots were already there & a nice added touch!

I almost got the white fading b/g that Lainie did the
other day on her xllnt pelican shot, but not quite ...

Just experimenting with Paint Shop Pro & having fun with it.
