Tufted Titmouse Study

[Cindy Mead]

I used the fractalius plugin on this one, and a bit of erasing/dodging and burning via layer masks.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and thanks for looking :)

Lovely treatment and image Cindy. The colour palette is very beautiful too. If it were mine I would take out the piece coming out of the head. Otherwise VWD.

thanks Jackie.. I'm not seeing anything coming out of the head, so am wondering of my monitor needs recalibrating. I did clone out a stem in that area, but I don't see it here. There's a clump of snow on grasses to the left of the head, is that the area you mean? appreciate the headsup and feedback :)

Cindy, Very nice rendering. I really like the composition. The frac/ sketch look is awesome. I like the high key look to this. Great perch also. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family:)

Nice image and application Cindy.

I think this is what Jackie is referring to. I noticed it too, when I first opened the image. It just seems a little out of place with the length of the other fractalius lines.

Beautiful composition and application, Cindy. I like the hk effect. Nice base image. Merry Christmas to you too.

I love what you have done here; looks like a painting. I too am seeing the single piece of something coming out of the head.

Cindy, That is a lovely image and treatment. The subtle colors and highkey look add to the wintery mood.
