A little playing in CS2

[P-E]

Having been inspired by 'First attempt at macro' thread the other day and the way Steve made the photo very arty I thought I would have ago.

So here is my crude attempt and the original it was taking from.

Well I think that is just excellent...but now you need to share how you did it.

Now your asking Ken onders: .......

Clicked around the the beak eye etc with the magic wand and desaturated.

Used brush to produce the white area around the head.

Then mainly just played around with brightneess/contrast shadow/highlights until I got something I liked.

Cropped/resized.

Sharpened using Focal Blade, then just a little softening here and there.

Nothing very proffesional Ken.........just very much playing in CS2.......inspired by many of the forum memebers.
