Following up on Zane’s vertical composition comments, I had a play around with the “Content Aware Fill” function in CS5 to create some space above and below the Cormorant and then filled it with the background sea.
Basically, I increased the “Canvas Size” at the top and bottom of the frame, selected the new white space and then ran the “Content Aware Fill” function, which very nicely “created” some seascapes texture above the bird and below its reflection.
Now if only galaxy creation were this easy….
Cheers
