I like it a lot, Frank! There might be suggestions that do make it better, but as-is this grabs my attention, is unique and interesting, and quite pleasing.

A small levels adjustment Frank makes the bird stand out more and its all about the vignette then.
Because its so strong it makes one believe its there to disguise the background rather than to bring the bird to the fore.
I actually like this effect but I know many reviewers are anti vignette.
Your call my man publish and be damned. Oh just do not call it art lol lol lol.

Mr. Spad as you know I am slowly acquiring my PP skills. I could not quite get there with levels for some reason I will keep trying but in the mean time is this more in line with your thoughts.
Matt I would like your thoughts again also.

I like the way the bird stands out a lot more. It gives good definition to the subject and the image doesn't look so washed out. To my eye the stark white surrounding it now complements it.

Thanks Matt, I think I understand now and believe this also works in color, which I didn't at first.

I think people will either like the treatment or won't. I did not think the color would work but was surprised. Thank you for commenting.

Very nice my man very very nice indeed.
For future reference Frank Levels and Curves work in similar ways. So if you can access curves you could use that to darken your bird in the mono version. Drag the curve down at the bottom to darken and up at the top to lighten That's a simplistic tutorial but you will soon get the hang of it.

Thanks for giving me your thoughts. I will work more on the mono but just couldn't get it with either of those, but did get what you mean about it being washed out, didn't see that originally. Hope my sports hints help. I am expecting too see some champions.

Frank I am not crazy about vignettes. But to me the colored one works better. The B/W seemed washed out.

Tend to agree NJ but have been playing around and the heavy vignette is starting to grow on me. Do you find the second B&W any more appealing or no?
