This is the same little squirt that was taunting me through the window last week. He confronted me in the pine tree in my front yard, so I responded by getting the camera... Good news is he wasn't raiding the bird feeder this time, just munching on a tasty green pine cone.
I did a lot of work on this one, but the main points are a couple of different Topaz effects applied more than one time, a pass through DAP, and using layer masks to brush in original detail in the eyes, nose, and mouth area. I was going for a nice late fall color palette, even though it is still 90 degrees here. :)

Hi Kerry, I really like the way you composed this image. Love the pose with the front paw holding the twig. Beautiful colors and details and the Topaz and the DAP effect has really enhanced the image. Excellent composition!

Kerry, I love it! It's cute and adorable. I added the word theme to your image as it qualifies. I like the asst. effects and the result you came up with. I like the subtle framing. Nice painted look to this.
