Sandhill Crane
I added a fractalius sketch and masked back in the eye.
Beautiful image, Denise! Love the simple, graphic look of the crane against the white BG, and the eye makes it perfect. :) Very nicely done.
Just love it
Nice image and application, Denise.
Reminds me of the Cranes that use to frequent our yard. Haven't seen them much this year. Guess they flew south for warmer air. :( We use to have two pair that came at least twice a day and would have brought their chicks during this timeframe.
Real nice job. I like the effect and love high key images. I may remove the catch-lite from the eye...
I wish that plug in worked on a mac. I love the effect and it works perfectly with the sandhill.
Only thing is maybe I'd soften the outline if that is possible a tad esp. around the beak.
Excellent image, Denise. Love the effect. Well processed.
Beautifully done, Denise. I love the simplicity.

Thanks guys -I appreciate your comments and thoughts.
Nick, I usually choose to leave the catch light in if it's natural and the eye is clear. But that is just my preference.:)
Love the simplicity and the head angle. The detail in the red crown and the rear crown are too cool. Is there a way to make the outline around the beak thinner by tweaking the settings as you work?
As always I marvel at your creativity, knowing which filter or pre-set to use when....

Artie, I could make it thinner by tweaking the settings but chose to leave it like this mostly because of personal preference. Thank you for commenting.:)
Like the affect, IMO maybe not as much line detail in the red portion of the head. Making it more consistent with the surrounding whites. It's mostly feel here - well done d,....
