Masai Mara Gazelle

I tightly cropped this image and used Photoshop’s oil paint feature to emphasize the gazelle’s beautiful face.

Does this image work

Excellent portrait of this guy, Jerry. I also like the treatment you used in post processing.

Having come from the painting background, I just love the effect it got.
Please tell me more about the ‘all paint effect’, under what head it is found in PS?
However on the composition side, I would prefer to have uncut ears.

I don’t usually like this type of processing, but have to admit this is done nicely and it suits the gazelle well :smiley:
Grt, Ingrid.

After the standard processing of the image in Lightroom, I imported into Photoshop and used the Oil Paint treatment under Filter/Stylize. I too struggled with how much to include. I chose to crop a bit tighter to accentuate the gazelle’s facial features. Thanks for your comments.
