Just messing...
I was bored, so I started investigating the filters in PS and in Topaz...this is not serious work, of course, but I'd like to hear your thoughts?

I spend too much of my life on TPF!
Interesting, The filter lends the first one a harshness that matches the expression and the second one is eerie in a goth/sci-fi sort of way. Very creative. I like it.

Thanks. That's what I'd hoped. I like the gothic reference...

Interesting! I think the flying vulture would have much more impact if a substantial amount of the top space were cropped off, and also just a tiny bit cropped off of the left.

The vulture is creepy! Second crop made a world of difference, good call derrel. The eagle is like a laser etching, very cool. I usually don't go for this much processing but both of them work surprisingly well, thanks for sharing.

The crop on that vulture definitely works better. Looks like some gritty album art for a garage band!

Thank you. It's not always my thing either, but worth trying from time-to-time.
