Here is a close-up image of a burrowing owl. Applied topaz simplify. Hope you like it....

Like the pose you captured, Indranil. And love that eye! Topaz worked well:) K

Indranil, I love the pose and the details. Great looking owl and eye! Soft blue BG is lovely. I might darken the image just a bit with the middle levels slider. I like the effect that the Topaz has on it-very subtle.:)

Kora, Denise, Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. Agree on the image needs to be darker. The original was taken at golden hour in the late afternoon. Here is a repost with the image close to the original light...

Indranil, I think somewhere in between the two would be great. I love the golden tones of the feathers.:)

I like the eye contact and the Topaz looks great Indranil.

Looks good Indranil!:)

The darker background certainly makes the image stand out more, Indranil. A very helpful suggestion:)

That last repost hit the spot, Indranil! That eye is simply amazing. I love the simplify on the feathers - you really brought out their "fluffiness" with it. Would have loved to have seen a bit more of the yellow beak showing but this is still superb. What a great feel it has!

Nice composition and effect, Indranil. Love the eye! :) Last repost looks just right.

[Paul Lagasi]

Look very nice to me, nice illustrated effect to it ... well done

Indranil, I like the final post - very nice! Love the sleepy look and close-up perspective. Tasty use of Simplify.
