This image was taken at Lion Country Safari – Florida and previously was shown in the humor theme week, something about a bad hair day.:confused: Doesn’t look much better here. ;):D

Modifications included; Topaz Adjust, Topaz Detail and adjustments in CS4.

Enjoy!

Mark, I think the lighting looks like it was difficult to manage in the original. I'm thinking that the OOF areas a bit distracting. Very cute pose and you gotta love that face!

[Christopher Miller]

Very humorous expression, Mark! Gotta love it! :D Nice details, and I echo Denise on the OOF areas. I think I might place the bird a little more to the left, looks a little too centered to me as is.

Thanks Denise and Christopher for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

The bird was very close when shot, thus the minimum effective DOF.

Hi Mark, I like the humor in this one. The face seems a bit contrasty to me... As for the bg, I would bring it down even further for this effect.

[Hilary Hann]

Agree with previous comments but find the image brings a smile to my face, so that is a good thing in my view. Almost stylized, very nice.

Thanks Kerry and Hilary for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

Like the face too Mark, and agree about darkening the BG even more:).

Thanks for viewing and comments, Jackie. Appreciate it.
