The Sleepy Hallow

[kostas nianiopoulos]

i think is a chinise chiken .

clone tool , layer via copy in the fence , then change blend mode to multiply to bring out some detail ( it was a bit white ) then i have merge it down , and dublicate the whole layer . on the 2nd layer hi pass filter and then change the blend mode in hard light to make it more sharp. it is the full frame of the image .
The BG is not real is a fake one , from the sea sand with a warming filter 25 prescent about , and box blur.

Hi Kostas

Very sharp and colorful. At first I thought eye should be fixed and sharpened, then I noticed title "Sleepy"

You have supberb PS skills.

Thank you for sharing

Good looking chicken Kostas !!! Excellent PS work !!! If you had an eye from one awake would paste onto the sleeping one !!! I think having a eye is a big deal with birds !!! I like it a lot !!

Agree with the eye comment, it is such a point of focus up close. However, alright to think out of the box as well.

Better IMO, you are a master at PP. I might lighten area around the eye some - well done.

Hi Kostas:

Between you and Al you greatly improved your original post - I love it. I agree with Jeff about lightening the eye.

Looking forward to many more of your photos.
