This is the same little squirt that was taunting me through the window last week. He confronted me in the pine tree in my front yard, so I responded by getting the camera... Good news is he wasn't raiding the bird feeder this time, just munching on a tasty green pine cone.
I did a lot of work on this one, but the main points are a couple of different Topaz effects applied more than one time, a pass through DAP, and using layer masks to brush in original detail in the eyes, nose, and mouth area. I was going for a nice late fall color palette, even though it is still 90 degrees here. :)
