Noisier than I would like but still a keeper I think ...

These are from early this morning, I am experimenting with Nik Color Efex Pro by using a bi-color filter on the backgrounds, what do you all think? Is it too much?
I like the backgrounds alot, Joel! I too have been playing with Color Efex Pro the last few days. Subtle is definitely the key on some of the presets and you have done a very nice job of applying them!
Thanks Bob ans Denise.
Bob....I will try to flush all birds towards the west if possible
Denise, you are right, one of the cool things about Color Efex Pro is that it automatically creates a layer and you can adjust the opacity so the effect is more subtle. The bi-color filter has opacity adjustments as well so you can dial it in as desired.
