Bluebird

[Dave Mills]

Shot this last year and applied a series of filters to create a painterly effect.

Dave, I'm assuming PB filtering. Nice pose and awesome original capture! I like the colors and the comp. Nicely done.:S3:

Really nice Dave! These little bluebirds are great subjects but difficult to capture well, and this one is super. Sure looks like Pixel Bender Oil Paint and very nicely done too!

Dave, I love the subject and the filter effect (especially the feathers). I like the unruly feathers on his belly and the composition:S3:

Oh how I wish I got these beauties where I live! Even though they are our state bird I've never seen one up close and in person. This is gorgeous - it really shows off his coloring and I love the worm...it takes it over the top for me.

Thanks folks, appreciate the comments....

Dave, very nicely filtered. Love the pose!
