This was a pretty ordinary photo. I wanted to try out Topaz Simplify. I made a BG copy, used the BuzSim filter and then the eraser tool on the bird so bring back the detail. I think it looks kind of nice. What do you think?

I think that it looks kind of nice. I would like to see a version with a bit less saturation. I love the CMP/image design. I would tone down or eliminate the bright white spot top center touching the frame edge.

Hi Susan, I like the Simplify filter and this looks awesome. Agree about the white spot. I like that you brought back some details to the image. Nicely done.:)
I love it! The reflection is great and the treatment is very well done. I like that you brought back some detail on the bird but that he is still somewhat painterly.
