Short Tailed Albatross- Los Angeles

[Steve Bein]

Well, the bird was not in Los Angeles, but I was when I processed this. Hoe you enjoy.
duplicate layer, erased and desaturated a bit on the back ground, then used a strong MR Contrast on the tip layer.

Nice processing, Steve. The colors are super with the looks of a porcelain toy like effect. I would have preferred a bit darkened bg to reduce the distraction from those branches just behind the head, if it were mine. TFS.

Steve, It's getting harder and harder to come up with unique looks in OOTB but every week I'm amazed at the talent in this forum. This is no exception-great processing and I like the different look!:S3: It may be a tad tight in the frame.
