The little kittens who live in the back yard have started to explore the front yard where the trees are (and all the other cats who hang out here). It is amazing to see these little tiny 3 month old balls of fluff climb 6 or 7 feet straight up a tree as if there was no such thing as gravity :-)
Here is the before:
Processing:
Adjust color temp in Nikon Capture FX
Crop
Make copy of eyes on new layer set to screen (I might have gone overboard on this step, they do look a tad glowy :-)
Clone tool to clean up eye boogers
Apply LucisArt Whyeth
Cloning to cover main shadows on face
Color Efex Pro Tonal Contrast with background masked
Color Efex Pro Darken/Lighten Center
Imagenomic Portraiture for light smoothing all over
Resize
USM
Save for web
I agree with everyone enhancement exceptional!! The eyes came out well wouldn't say too glassy, crop is perfect leads one to the approach from the kitties point of view..
OMG, Colleen , this is a knock-out!!! The detail on this little guy is incredible & the BG really complements him. Lucky kitten getting outside & climbing...my 3 mo. old kitten has to stay in (too much traffic ). She does have a screened porch & climbs the screen daily :)
