    I took a photo of a puppet at a Renaissance fair and removed the strings with content aware. Then used simplify and Glamour glow to create this mythological beast.

    Bob, this is wonderful! I love the softness and the expression. The background colors add nicely to this. I might give a sliver more room on top if it were mine. There is a tiny bit of string on the one horn I would evict. Great image!!

    This is a nice image, Bob. I'm guessing that it was the Glamour Glow treatment that makes the fur look so good. I agree with Denise's comments about the nice background and adding more room to the top. I'd probably add a bit to the left, as well, just to place the eye in divine proportion horizontally.

    Bob, this really is magical!! It is just a perfect combination of filtering. I agree about the added room at the top and the string, but there is a smudge on his (her) ear about in the middle on top that I would evict also. Great work

    Nicely seen and captured. I really like the soft processing. Some good thoughts above.

    Bob, I first thought it was a composite Excellent processing to bring out the glow.

    Bob, I'm late to the party...but this is very well crafted. It has a dream like quality...you'd almost swear it was a fantasy painting of a mythological creature!...and it has both a "cute" and eerie quality to it. I would have never guessed it was a puppet. I like Denise's suggestions...strong image. A series of these would make for a great children's book!

    Fun image. I thought it was real! (maybe it is...). Love the warm painterly look, and the good separation from a very nice background.
