Egret Portrait

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Used two rounds of Topaz Clean then an Eye Candy Impact subtle rough surface filter.

Akos, I like the rough surface and the Topaz Clean looks neat. I like the sharp portrait, might take a hair off the top and evict the one little feather strand on the bottom part of the bill. I like the other bit of feather at the tip. Well done.

Like it a lot Akos, the framing and colours are great. And the feathers are a nice touch. Would you get rid of the halo around the bird or leave it???

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Thanks Girls. I was a bit concerned about the halo. I think the first topaz application didn't have that. I may redo and just one harder set pass with TC and that may alleviate the issue of that naughty halo.
Thanks for looking and the encouragement. :)

Hey Akos, I love the textures you've gotten here. Also agree about the halo:)

Great framing, Akos. Like the bit of feather on the bill, almost looks like light shining off it! Like the effect of the topaz, and agree on evicting the halo.

Akos, Well done! I like the effect and the textured backround. Agree with the minor cleanup and would want just a bit more room in front...Nice job!
