I took an old image from my gallery, and ran it though topaz adjust 5, and did a few other changes.

It is finally raining here, no bad storms, or wind just rain!

I'm going to try to offer a link to the older image

I think this duck now looks like it's in the spotlight. :)

Thank you in advance for commenting.

My visit to Black Pines yesterday, was a bust! Most of the animals were inside because of the terrible heat, and it was threatening rain, so left the camera in the car. I will go back some other time, they have moved this facility from when I visited it some years ago, and have really improved their set up.

The new version is clearer and brighter. Nice capture of the duck with clear details.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Maaaaaggggg-nificent! This is a knockout shot, Sandi. I can just see you smiling from ear to ear when you are working with Topaz.

It's an excellent perspective of a shot..There is a bit of a halo around her head..I suspect from the highlight brush..but a good one all the same..R.

Sorry yesterday was a bust, Sandi .
We also finally got some rain however it came in the form of three severe storms. One would end and within an hour another would arrive. BUT at least we all got the much needed rain . I agree the duck does appear to be in the spotlight. I like the color tones . Great work the topaz is awesome.

Does make a difference. Topaz makes some really nice plugins. Cute shot.

Hey Sandi, your link worked, hurray. Your work on the older image is really superb and like the way it looks like a hallo is around the ducks head. Bravo

Masterpiece work Sandi. You should send this to Ducks Unlimited as a feature work for their magazine. Soooo good!
