the birds really are black/white/grey with red around the eyes.  I greyed out the whole thing, put the red back in for the eyes then blue tinted the water (it was more grey that day than blue).

[oh, if people aren't interested in WHAT I do to get the effects, let me know, I'll stop explaining]

the free ones have a size limit. and it's easier to keep stuff segregated with 3.  One is Australia plus Israel and Amsterdam, the second is South America (still being uploaded) and the 3rd is my "kindleboard" one.

I don't even remember. It was either one of those free filters from some photo website or it came with some photo program. If you Google up a bunch of them, look for one with painterly effects....
