Very pretty image Stuart. The nice clean background really makes the bird stand out and the oil paint works well for the image.

Stuart, another wonderful skimmer image! I really like that subtle green gradually blending into the blue.
Very nice, but I wonder if the evenness of the texture in the BG might be complemented by a subtle dark vignette?
Stuart, I really like how you're using different techniques on the same image, it really makes the bird stand out from the background. The colors and tones of the subject work extremely well with the bg as well.
Well you have got the Oil Paint filter down. I wonder about darkening the whites on the foremost wing and lightening the face a bit. Just a thought.
