a bit of PB oil paint and lightened the background on this portrait crop of the GHO.

Steve, I like what the filter did to the little bit of greenery by it's face. It seems a bit tight, if it were mine I might evict or blend the stick on the right that is coming from behind it's head. Nice job w/ this one!

Denise,
You are right. I did not think about the branch in the background. Thanks.Here it is with the branch removed.

Looks great. Owls really work well with PB. I agree on being a little tight in the frame. The BG has a lot going on, but the image still works well. Good colors, not overdone. Nice job!

I really like the PB effect on the owl. Nice work. The repost minus the stick does look better.

Nice image and application, Steve.

Like the details of the effect on the feathers.
