Chimney Sweeps?

Chimney Sweeps?

This is a retouching of a photo I posted last winter. In this incarnation, I used the new TOPAZ filter, Restyle, with one of its "Nature" presets. Then followed up with my latest favorite OnOne Perfect Effects presets, Grunge Vignette.

This pair of black vultures had been feasting on a deer carcass on the lawn below this house chimney (Yes, in a residential neighborhood)!. Wary of me and my camera, they took up this sentry position, as their friends and relatives continued their meal below.

  I think that effect combination is great for these doom sayers, Michelle. I just got the Restyle but have had little time to look at it yet.

  Excellent capture and editing!! I'm finding Restyle to be a very interesting plug-in.
