Re-Create Dove

Adjusted levels for brighter midtone, the bg becomes very posterized
Upped saturation prior to DAP
DAP Benson(2.5 mpx/3900 strokes) w/custom palette and blur masking
Saved as layered .psd
Opened in ps, adjusted entire DAP layer to 82% opacity normal
Masked DAP layer for more selective revealing
New blank layer in soft light mode and 50% gray fill for burning vignette
and some of dove for shaping
Using a soft light layer does not get color shift like is had with just the burn brush in normal mode
Flatten and save for web

thanks for looking in and c/c....all y'all have a great week

Beautifully rendered Dave. This has a soft illuminated effect. Love the color tones and the BG. The vignette looks very natural.

Love this one Dave. The BG is beautiful and the dove has just the right amount of DAP to appear painterly, but still retain detail.

thank you ladies.....appreciate the comments
