Theme: HummingCritter

[Kerry Perkins]

Please don't ask... Went through three passes of Topaz Simplify and then one of Topaz Adjust. Took a while to get the look I was after, but this is pretty much what I had in mind. :)

Excellent capture, Kerry. Lines, BG, soft colors, and the beak up the flower makes a perfect comp!

Kerry, Those flower colors are super! I like the composition and the muted colors on the Hummingbird.The catchlight is subtle but effective.Well done.

I like your comp and treament Kerry. I wonder if desaturating the greens a little would make the bird stand out a little more. Do like the painting/watercolour effect. That Topaz is quite addicting:)

its amazing the detail that you see even with all the treatments. the catchligh and the blurred wings. this is really appealing to me. agree with john on the composition. this is really nice.
