This one is from last year... used Topaz Simplify, pb/oil and fract in multiple layers. Used masks to paint over and also changed opacity. Hope you like it...
Indranil, This is sweet! I like the filtering and the details you retained. I might crop some of the OOF FG if it were mine and a dd a little to the top, but that is just a personal preference thing.
I like the title and what the image portrays. The effects of the work you did are especially good on the adult's feathers. If this were mine, I'd crop some from the foreground and right side to bring the front and bottom of the adult's body tangent to divine proportion lines. I'd also add some brightness and, perhaps, contrast to the goslings to make them a bit more obvious at first glance.
Hi Indranil, nicely filtered. The goslings certainly up the cute factor for this one. I agree on a little more up top. I do wish for a little more eye showing in the little one behind the adult's leg...but not a deal breaker. Nice work!
Love the oil paint on the body feathers. Wish that the third gosling were in complete shade. And yes to a nice crop from the bottom as suggested by Lady.
