Actually the difference is pretty subtle, and nothing drastic, but I have posted a number of images using this technique previously, and never the "before version".
comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

Bill, You do nice work w/ the Topaz programs. I like seeing the before image. You really brought out some sharp details in the neck, head an eye w/ the filters. I also like the branch w/ the filter.

Nice image and application Bill.

I might have put the point of the branch entering the water in the corner, but nice image.

Bill, I have been loving your work with Topaz - it is subtle but really effective.

Hi William,

Some very nice processing work there, it brings out the detail in the branch and the whole of the bird really well - love the eye.
