This is another image in the "Sketch" series, using Photoshop and Topaz software. Hope you like it.

This is a beaut Ron. There is much to enjoy. The treatment and sketching make it pure art. The only other thought I have when viewing is that it has been applied to a beautiful image from the start. Superb! Right up there with your best Ron.
Make your life spectacular!

Beautiful. The Red-bellied Woodpecker lends itself well to this type of look. Your use of specific software looks perfect for this image. Nicely seen and well done !

Your talents, creativity and artistic flair shine through once again, Ron. The finish and textures are amazing and so realistic, that I want to reach out and touch the image to feel the surface - especially the tree bark! Superb artwork Maestro!

Amazing textures and artistic rendering, Ron. I really like the values you've chosen-perfect for a "sketch". In addition, this has a lovely 3 dimensional look to it-something that might be difficult in a drawing, but a special feel that you have obviously mastered. Bravo!!

Well done.
Does indeed look like a charcoal sketch.
