This image was taken this past weekend, when my granddaughter drove down from Northern Florida to Southeastern Florida and brought down her 5 month old puppy named "Poppy", for my 86th birthday. I was using my Luminar FZ200 which has continuous shooting and I caught this image as she was moving her head.
I first used Topaz DeNoise, then Topaz Sharpen. I then ran it through Topaz Gigapixel at 4X. I spotted the reflection in her eye and decided to blow up the image of her eye. You can see my reflection and the light coming through my sliding glass doors in the background in her eyes.
The first image is the raw image, the second is the image with the correction using Topaz.
The camera used : Lumix FZ200 with the Leica 2.8 lens
f/2.8 ;1/100sec; ISO 800 35+mm
equivalent 136mm

Love the crop and the post processing works well. A fun photo. Posted: 11/15/2020 14:30:21

I think it is too big of crop and is not sharp. I suggest reducing the highlights. Gigipixel works great for clean photos. Posted: 11/15/2020 15:22:08

Don't forget this poppy wasn't standing still. this was taken from the best image I got from a series of continuous images I took. All she wanted to do is play and wouldn't stay put for a second.

Maybe fill flash would help then. Posted: 11/15/2020 15:45:21

I totally understand what you wanted to accomplish by cropping so close, and you did accomplish that but you did sacrifice clarity. The puppy is so cute, and I love the expression on his face in original 2. I believe you could still accomplish what you wanted by showing more of the face for the eyes are sharp and the look on his face says "love me". Posted: 11/20/2020 11:06:36
Stuart - puppies are indeed difficult to pose especially without some incentive! I also do like the second shot you had with more of that loving face. Posted: 11/22/2020 14:01:40

Very interesting composition and cropping. It looks like it was cropped to the point that the image became pixelated. Topaz Gigapixel AI might reduce the pixelation. Posted: 11/30/2020 22:03:00
