Just playing with Topaz and some different effects and I thought this looked interesting. C&C always welcome.

I like it, Judy. Very nice low-key effect with just enough detail on the bird.

Judy, Welcome! I like it too! I think that the effect looks really good.You could probably open the lower wing just a bit-but this is very interesting and the composition is nice. I took a look at your web-site and I have to say- you have a creative eye!

[Judy Becker]

Thank you Denise I appreciate the comments about the web site.

Excellent composition, Judy. Very creative. Agree with Denise on opening up the whites a bit on the lower wing.

Hi Judy, I like the fact you took the opposite approach on this image. I like your subject and it's placement within the frame.Agree with opening up the whites on the lower wing and also some more definition on the back of the head. Very creative!!

Hi, Judy. Good to see you here. Great composition and nice wing position. I agree with a little more definition on the lower wigg and back of head. Good work!

Nice image and effect, Judy.

I was thinking of Low Key the other day when I was doing some images. Might be an interesting Theme, Denise. In some ways harder than Hi Key, as light is the main factor.

Only suggestion to add that I have is I might crop about 1/2 of the top area. But

Your iamge ... Your vision.
