On Turning Pink II

[Michael Gerald-Yamasaki]

Neutralized bg with Lab curves, Topaz Simplify for the bg, Topaz Adjust for the subject some HDR Grunge & color pop. Couple of curves for the eye...

Shot this hatchling 2 1/2 years ago at the San Diego Zoo... had different processing skills then. Glad the theme had me thinking about these.

Thanks for looking...

Cheers,

Super cute subject. I like the pose and the processing. The Simplify was a great idea for the BG. Nice work!

Another excellent composition, Michael. I too like the pose and the color. Excellent processing!

Michael, I like the ppose, composition and effects on this one. The subdued colors really bring out the pink bill. Nice work

"Pink as pink is." A very lovely capture and processed perfectly with the Hatchling's nice pose.

Well done

What an ugly duckling cutie! It made me smile. :-) I like the soft tones and bg. Nicely processed.

This is lovely, Michael. The background sets this little guy off beautifully.
