BumpBump in another softened pose. I was very pleased with this, but overall I'm still ambivalent about the softening process. Like it? Hate it? Don't be shy about criticizing.

It's a beautiful "portrait", but what popped in my mind immediately was that this cat has gone to kitty heaven....maybe a bit too much PP but nonetheless, a beautiful feline! :~)

Another Classic!! :D :D :thumbup: :thumbup:
As I don't have Topaz, I'll have to fool around with Gimp and see what happens.
Should be some way I can "soften" the picture.
P.S. Thanks for the "mask" lessons. Really helps on the eye enhancement.

I think it's a little too much. Back off on the saturation and sharpening a bit-vrgl
Thanks very much for your input, Vrgl. And welcome to the forum! No sharening was done to this, in fact. But thanks very much for taking time to comment and your suggestions. I do appreciate it!

Thanks very much, Ishoothings. Appreciate the comment. Bumpy did-in fact- do his best to get to 'Kittyland' this past winter, but he's still with us, lol.
Thanks for looking!

Thanks, Ron. Appreciate those thumbs!
I don't have Gimp, so can't help too much. A blurring function would soften the photo, but you either need a mask to protect the eyes, or if Gimp will work like Topaz, you can 'brush' the effect out of a given area. Gimp may or may not let you do that, I don't know.
Thanks for looking! And I did like the 'hypnosis' shot! : )

I absolutely love the picture!!! I wouldn't change a thing but I am often criticized because I like a lot of saturation in my pictures. I think it is a beautiful portrait and would love my cats' pictures done the same way.

I think it distracts from a beautiful cat shot myself, but if you like it that's what counts.

Love the portrait Treepusher, I am possibly biased as whatever the p[icture of a cat is, I just love them !! :thumbup:
