Almost Sharp

That's what this ISO400 picture was that I took this evening. I loved Ricky's expression and wanted to save the image. No amount of sharpening made it look good, especially since it was noisy. Decided to try a very slight BuZZ Simplify (bringing out eye and nose detail with a layer mask). Had to retouch the ball a bit since it was too light. Ended with strong sharpening with FocalBlade.

Canon PowerShot A610
1/10s f/3.5 at 21.7mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I love just that little amount of buzz added!

Ah...Ricky! The Buzz really works here makes him look so soft.

This is my favorite shot of Rickie so far, Isabel. I can really see his personality shinging through his eyes in this one.

Such a cute guy, worth saving. I have to wonder. All of Rickies photos show such a sweet guy, how on earth could you ever say he is a hellion, especially with the felines. ;-)
