About the Image(s)

I saw this formation of flamingos and thought it would make a halfway decent base for an abstract.
Original 1 is straight out of the camera. Original 2: cropped; selected the birds and painted them with a mild abstract in Corel Painter 2022. Brought the painted back into PS, since the color was off, played with blending modes and blend if, sharpened with Topaz Sharpen AI, and finished in ACR, with color profile "artistic 3," and basic adjustments to my taste.
As usual all comments appreciated.
