Road Runner Portrait

[Dave Mills]

Shot this in Texas.
Used PB and Silver FX for conversion. Modified with Topaz detail and took out the backround. Kicked up the contrast which added to the definition.

Dave, you blow me away! Where you think up some of these combinations is beyond me. I love this one! My only small suggestion would be to maybe rework or redefine the top part of the beak a bit more. Love the crisp contrast of this image and the eye is spectacular!

[Indranil Sircar]

Excellent b&w composition, Dave. Love it! The eye is certainly special.

This is my first visit to this forum and this shot just blew me away. I love it! No nits at all. The composition is perfect. WOW!

Dave, this works for me big time. Really strong outcome and clever use of filters.

[Anita Bower]

Wow! I completely agree with Jules. Love the simplicity and boldness of this creative image.

Dave, I love the filters you used and the eye is the icing on the cake:S3:
