Clean Stilt

[Kerry Perkins]

Another Salton Sea shore bird that gets the Clean treatment. Love those Topaz plugs...

This was pretty much all Topaz Clean. The original image, which is posted in Avian, had some Topaz Detail and PS USM applied.

Kerry,

The Topaz clean filter works well with this image. Beautiful pose and well exposed for both blacks and whites. You left the eye in the ROT power position though I wonder what the composition might look like with more canvas on the right. Beautifully done.

You are good with those Topaz plugs! This looks awesome as is but I think I'd also like to see a bit more space on the right and maybe more on the top, too.

Kerry, I like the way you processed this! Nice pose and bird. I agree more room on the right would be nice. I wish this was mine!! Nicely done.

Awesome processing and pose, Kerry! I love the smooth look from the topaz. All it needs is a little more room to the right as the others suggested. Nice work!

[Brendan Dozier]

Wow! Great elegant image and pose, Kerry. Love the details, colors, reflection and nice contrast between Stilt and BG. That is really top notch, and you are master at using just the right amount of Topaz. I agree with the others regarding a bit more room on the rt. Well done!

Very nicely processed Kerry, love the effect!

[Judy Howle]

Wonderful base image and treatment! I like clean very much and use it a lot more than simplify.

I really like this image, I find these Stilts are one of our most beautiful and delicate looking birds. like the effect on the water and the birds just enough Topaz on both...well done Kerry

Thank you Chris, that's quite a compliment!
