Osprey

Took this beauty the other day and I thought I would play around with Topaz Clean with some minor adjustments in PSE7---I took it out as far as I could to get the full effect----normally would leave some edges-----CC welcomed---Thanks for looking

Steve, I think adding canvas to the sides would be the way to go. I like the Clean filter and what it has done to the look of the head. I might tone down some of the brighter whites if it were mine. They probably got brighter w/ conversion and filtering. Nice sharp eye and wonderful pose.:)

Nice wings-up and head turned pose, Steve. The Clean effect on head feathers works very well. Overall the bird seems really tight in the frame. I would either give it more room right and left, OR crop it down to show only head, talons with fish, and part of the wings.

Excellent capture Steve! Does feel tight on the sides to me. Feels a bit contrasty to me, mostly due to the direct sunlight. You may have just a tad too much sharpening, mostly on the face and upper edges of the wings. Nicely done, hope to see more of you in OOTB!

Steve, the Clean worked really well on this image. The pose is great but another vote for a little more "wiggle" room on either side.:)

Great pose, Steve. I like the topaz effect. Agree with the suggestions already given, I would also take some off the top.
