Hope you guys aren't getting to bored with the technique! Same old Fractalius stuff. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

Nice work as usual Bill. Never seen one so they are actually this dull grey colour?

Bill, the eye is really stunning against the muted colors.:)

Bill, the eye is unreal...I find the rest of the bird, just too bright though...but thats just me

Bill, I like the high key look to this and the clear sharp eye!:) The subtle gradient BG is a nice touch.

Appreciate the feedback as always. Jackie: although this image was taken in the shade, and thus the high key background, I just posted the same bird in Avian, when it was in the sunlight. Avian Post. There you can get an idea of the real colors.
Regards~Bill
