Dave, Thanks so much for the link! I just downloaded it and it's easy and has some nice features!
I think the colors in your bird are fantastic! The wood texture is a nice touch. I like the simple composition w/ the inclusion of the symbol and chop!

Dave - I love the texture and the almost irridescent colors in the feathers. I've been in awe of your creative Asian posts
and thanks for the link to fotosketcher! I also really like your symbols and chops - how are you doing them?

Thanks Denise....FotoSketcher is a very powerful little program and quite versatile.

Thank you Cheryl, the more one plays the more one learns....and it's fun if one can make the time
My Symbols are just from the internet. In photoshop I select with magic wand, invert selection and drag
onto the image I am working on. My little red chop is just a grouping of my initials

Dave, Beautiful fine feather detail and a crystal clear eye! Is this an Eastern Pheobe?
