Greetings. So I was a bit frustrated trying to show detail in the straight shot while compressing to the jpeg and posting dimensions... So used some OOTB techniques to come up with this:
104988
Processing includes Topaz Clean (stylize detail), Lab curves (several layers), Gaussian blur for bg, Topaz Detail, Topaz Denoise, smart sharpening. Most of the fine feather detail was helped along by Topaz Clean - stylize detail & would be smeared in a regular shot due to resolution reduction for jpeg.
Interested to hear what you think...
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
-Michael-
