Adjustment Layers & Smart Filters
ADJUSTMENT LAYERS
I Lighten the background and darkened the dinosaur duck to make him the more pronounced figure in the shot.

SMART FILTERS
I made the photo into a smart filter and added paint daubs and underpainting. Then I brought back the Mr. B so he was in focus, and the background had the filters.
Good job making the duck stand out, its a great shot. Everyone’s animals are so cute i can hardly stand it.
Great job with your photo edits. I really like the goose one. I think the composition could have been a little bit better if his behind was cut off a bit and you could see where he was walking. but other than that they look great.
That is a huge duck! You did a great job applying the adjustment layer and the smart filter. It would have been cool to be able to compare them to the originals too.
I really like the duck photo and the beautiful contrast from the duck’s feathers, feet, and background! Great job. And the bunny… ridiculously adorable.
You might try to experiment with putting your subject somewhere other than in the middle of the photo to strengthen the composition.
