You are having WAY too much fun with these guys.... :). Love the amazing BG but I wish the bird beak was not as close to the perch. The details and colors are on the money and the composition works for me.
I love the hunched look of the heron as well as its ruffled feathers. Only thing for me is I find the blunt ending of the perch peculiar, and also how it is thinner at the frame's edge. Very neat BG and colours throughout!
thanks for all the input guys(wow, 3 mods)
Daniel, the perch is a bit strange, I did remove a small upright and large branch behind, but the perch itself s unedited.
