Family of four psycho

I don't think it is entirely appropriate to call the entire family psycho....but the mother does look like she could go 'off' if provoked. ,-)

Very cool technique and excellent use of off kilter composition and angles to create a dynamic feel. i have been hesitant to use this tool yet because of the extreme look given to people. I think it works very nicely here and maybe i need to run some images of the Vermont GTG folks using this...especially annig and hot_pixel.

What I find most amazing about this shot is that I didn't even see the flower in the unedited image. Topaz is simply amazing! ;-)

really nice details you were able to pull out in the parrots feathers. I agree with the others, the background is a bit blotchy now...maybe a bit of blur to get rid of the bumps?

It seems Topaz Port Drama is the best possible tool to pull out details in rock. It really seems to shine and pull out so much detail. Nice work

so graphic in feel - it is a really cool approach to these shots. I can almost see this on a wall in a medical office - it has that awesome effect of calming

Very cool effect here - I like the near painted feel of the portrait smooth on landscapes like this. And the colors really got a boost as well to emphasize the leaves. Nice work.

the details you were able to pull out around the nose is outstanding but i am not sold with the graininess around the ears as much - clearly thisis a much more dramatic edit than the original

much more dramatic sky and the grain level gives this a nice texture to it, but I do like the softer light of the original as well

the softness of this original one really helps us see the beautiful light
