Playing with sizable crop, NR, etc. resulting in this image. I sort of like the effect - other's thoughts?

Regards,

Bob

The image appears lifeless and overly dark to me. I applied a skin smoothing filter in Topaz Detail 3, boosted the vibrance, warmed the temp slightly and lightened the shadows. I used a layer mask to remove most of the smoothing from the birds. One of many ways to process the image, may not suit your vision.

CamperJim,

Not really, just curious about others' thoughts, the contrasts appeal to me juxtaposed to a faux watercolor filter. Normally watercolor, pastels, etc. and HDR are things I avoid and find not very appealing.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Bob

From answers.com
Of, relating to, or characteristic of a painter; artistic.
1. Having qualities unique to the art of painting.
2. Of, relating to, or being a style of painting marked by openness of form, with shapes distinguished by variations of color rather than by outline or contour.

In this case, #2 applies in a broad sense.

Thanks Barbara,

Certainly yours is a more complete rendition than the original. Somehow my processing tendencies more often than not seem to land on a side darker than most prefer

Thanks again for your time and the re-work,

regards,

Bob

Thanks, people have said my stuff is painterly on occasion, never knew what it meant. I have never done it on purpose and would not really know how to do it.

In this case it was collateral damage from post-processing
