Denise:

Lovely effect and colors. I would only be tempted to clean up the plants right behind the head!

Randy, Good idea. Hope this looks better-Thanks.

nice eviction, denise. the filter is nice as it leaves decent detail in the eye. i'm wondering what some contrast or a little darkening to the image would do to it.

cool find! that must have been awesome to see these guys!!!!

[Dave Mills]

I agree, the repost looks better to me!! nice..

Denise...this is truly one of my favorite out of the boxes so far. It looks like a piece of art, and I would hang it on my wall! The hint of purple in the BG gives it a nice pop of color. I do prefer the repost b/c it brings more attention to the bird which is just sharp enough to really make this a special piece of art. I am envious that you know how to do this type of thing.

Nice technique Denise. It has a watercolour effect to it. Like it better with the grass behind the beak removed as I found it was the second place my eye went to (after the bird of course:)
