BACKYARD SHARP-SHINNED HAWK
This is an occassional visitor to our backyard. The day was cloudy with low light. The original image was OK, but not special. I started experimenting with CEP4 and Fractalius and this is the result. Nikon D7000, Nikkor 600mm, 1.4TC, f6.3, 1/320, iso 250. A few distracting branches were removed.

REDO OF SHARP-SHINNED HAWK
Here is the redo with complete border and tail seperation from the branch. The feet are a problem in that the hawk is perched using only one foot. Much of the foot shown was recreated after removing an obstructing branch. Thanks to all for the C &Cs. I have a few question relative to Fractalius. When in ones work flow is it best applied? I have handled it like sharpening and applied it at the end after the image has been sized. I have also tried to optimize the image prior to applying Fractalius. Is this a waste of time?
