Dozing lion art

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted December 14, 20141,098 views4 comments

I took the original photo at our local zoo. The lion was dozing in the sun on a nice fall day. I used Topaz Glow followed by Topaz Impressions to create this. I just started using both filters; both look interesting but slow to start. However, the processing is fast, and Glow beats Fractalius easily in terms of speed, and appears to be able to give similar results. C&C always welcome and appreciated.

Rob, I like this a lot! Very nice work. Have tried Topaz Glow, and still much prefer the original fractalius, since it can be fine-tuned in so many ways.
In my choices of wildlife images to use, I usually look for one with great EYES, as eyes still are the focus of most wildlife photography. I isolate them and then apply the filter to everything BUT the eyes, so I still retain compelling (hopefully) eyes.
Good luck with your experiments with these types of filter - it's lots of fun and very creative.
