Wow...excellent composition, capture, and special effect....congratulations...superb as always...:cool:
Fabs, I like the look very much and the colors are so rich. I like how the eye is still sharp!
One of my favorites Fabs !!!
Really nice pp treatment and great photo to begin with!
Fabs, is this his natural environment or did you collage it in because I seriously cannot tell! It's exquisite. The blues against the greens are luscious.
Thanks, everyone, Jules, here's the original:
Okay, now I'm mad I asked. That's even more beautiful than the first one! :D:):D
Absolutely LOVE the original, masterful composition, exposure, DOF is perfect. I'm not as taken with the snap-art pencil sketch version, though. To my eyes the diagonal pencil lines seem to conflict with the strong linear features of the head and breast feathers. But I really like the background, especially the enhanced orange glow. Guess I need to think about this one a little more... Excellent thought-provoking post, Fabs.
