a great bird but I really don't like the strange topaz editing you did to give this a cartoon look

I'm not a fan of the post-processing effect.

Beautiful! The detail in each feather is amazing. 10

Sharpened, or noise reduced a little much for me. Has the oil painting look, but a neat capture for sure!

Excellant detail.

Great portrait, nice composition but I'm afraid its let down by over sharpening, apart from that a fine image, good luck

I love how you processed this. Very interesting.

The stylized processing will not sit well with some, but if you like it, then it's good! Almost a Harry Potter bird, yes?

Topaz Clean 3 > Curly Smooth? This "technique" is popping up a lot lately online. It is unusual but for how long? I think your original may have been good enough to stand up on it's own merit. I'd be interested to see how this fares at roll-over, both score and comment wise. A hesitant 7.
