Indranil, I like the soft effect that the filter had on this image. I might be tempted to give a bit more detail in the eyes if it were mine. Nicely captured!
Thanks Denise. Here is a repost with a bit more detail on the eye - had to do an eye-doctor! copying from another of my image, rotating, aligning and then applying a bit of Gaussian blur to match with the rest of blurred head...
That came out very nice Indranil. Like the interesting shaking pose and eyes. Like the simplicity, but also would be cool to see additional versions taking it further with more effects on bird and water.
