    A young Red Tailed Hawk a recently photographed.

    Following Denise's procedure, I selected the eye, radial blur,
    inverted selection, masked in some detail with wide strokes
    at about 30-40%, kept selection and ran thru Topaz Simplify
    BuzSim. I may print this one, as it really appeals to "me".

    Thanks for looking in and c/c

    original for above.
    Original had a boring beige toned bg, so added a gradient on a mask
    for some color. It paid off in the end

    Dave, This is STUNNING! I really like the way the blur looks enhanced with the Topaz. I also like how you kept the eye sharp. Great looking base image also!! Very well done!!!

    Dave, this is awesome! The most unique use of blur I've ever seen. Really makes an incredible image!

    Has a nice painterly feel to it Dave. I like the base image too. Looks like it is going to be another fun week.
