Early Morning Snowy + reposts

This was a really special scene to me early one morning during a week I spent on Hilton Head Island earlier this month. The original image did not do it justice, in my opinion.

Here I've used, not in this particular order, Curves, Levels, Topaz Detail, Topaz Adjust, Topaz Simplify, Hue/Saturation, Shadows/Highlights, and probably more. I did individual work on parts of the bird.

I hope you enjoy this, and your comments are desired and appreciated, but also if you do have suggestions those are equally desired and appreciated.

Thank you!

I like the many layers and the lighting looks sweet!

Very nice mood Barbara and appealing color. The only thing I might do is brighten the bird's eye and head a little.
