    Bill, I love the fine-feather detail and the intense stare that they are so famous for. I like the green BG it compliments your subject nicely. Just a bit tight for my taste. I think you have mastered that filter!!!

    I've just started playing with the Topaz filters in the past few days. I agree with Denise.....I think you've got this one down pretty well. For an avian image, I agree that it's too tight....even for me.....but on the other hand I like seeing what you've done with the bird up close. I've searched past images for landscapes to try with the filters but you've given me some ideas about some of the birds I've photographed. Well done.

    very nice look/enhancement to this greenie....I would tone down the glare on the eye just a tad.
    More space is also a good idea IMO. Keep the GH coming, my fav bird

    I see this image quite yellow/green as was your last one. Most acceptable for the
    bg, but a bit off for color on GH IMO.

    Thanks Dave. Certainly an improvement (again). Your not going to believe this but I did try to reduce the green cast, but obviously not enough. Appreciate the assistance! ~Bill

    THis is great William. It looks almost real, with just a hint of effect to me. Congratulations. :)

    Hi William,
    I like the capture...you have fine details and color rendition on your bird...the subject is a tad tight in frame...I like the color adjustment that Dave made...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
