    Hi Gus, I really like this! What a perfect creation of an inked watercolor. Very impressive! Lovely color palette and composition as well. Nicely done!

    Hey Gus, I like this. With a bit off the bottom I'd like it even more. Hnad the hummingbird been green, I'd have loved it.

    I really like this Gus. Ditto what Kerry said about the filter work and color palette. My first reaction was that it would be more appealing if you painted in more color on the bird because it's almost monotone and the bkg has more color.

    I am a big fan of the sketch-look! And love the addition of the bkgd colors and the watercolor-like effect. I agree with others that the hummer could use some color also. Would really like to see this again if you work with it. I looked up Akvis sketch. They have lots of interestingeffects!
