Interesting bird attitude, although the eye blends in perhaps a bit too well for maximum effect.
Agreed. I did a bit of selective lightening to bring out the eye on the left. Just nothing really to work with on the right and this was the best of the series I took of this mean old bird.
I suppose I could go into CS5, enlarge the eye and perhaps lighten it a bit more.
Karen,
Looks good.
I didnt enlarge the eye for two reasons.
First. Not sure how. My PS skills are rudimentary. I thought I'd botch it.
Second. Hoped that brightening would do enough.
But, its better as you have presented it.
What tools did you use?
BTW, I have CS5

I used CS5. Haven't gotten around to getting CS6 yet.
I used the lasso tool and drew around the eye, including some feather area. The I used the Refine Edge Radius slider to make a nice selection edge. (Despite the temptation to use the "Feather" slider for the sake of irony, I resisted. The softening of the edge might have made the edge soft.) Then with the selection made I, I clicked on edit>transform>scale and nudged the corners of the scale box out slightly. Presto! Bigger eye.
