 I used layer masks to process the cats differently than the background

- Removed rock in lower right corner
- TA spicify (66% opacity) cats
- Black & white layer (difference mode) background
- TA portrait smooth (multiply mode, 69% opacity) background
- TA portrait smooth (soft light mode) cats
- TA neutralize (21% opacity)
- TA noise reduction
- Luko sharpen
- Soft light layer to dodge and burn a little.

Really nice composition in the original, but the processing really makes for a gorgeous shot.

I am finding that I can save really bad originals with Topaz, and this one is a wonderful testimate to that.

You really nailed this. Sometimes the right PP is all a shot needs to bring out it's potential.
