William, I like it. The fractalius looks neat. My personal preference would be to leave the bill,feet and eye free of the fractalius. I like the webbing look to the trees. Nice wing position.

I've always thought that in the fractalius treatments I've seen, it worked best with fur, hair and feathers, but with this image I think it works great with foliage too. I like it on the trees.

I agree with Denise. It looks like he has a hairy head/feet! I love the look on the trees, though...fabulous!
