    Joe:

    Perfect for the theme, very nice detail, great punk "hairdo" subtle lighting, and just enough detail in the background to give it some depth.

    Very engaging.

    Cheers

    Not the most beautiful bird Joe,don't think you could get better detail and exposure on this, white feathers are excellent.

    Hi Joe, I really like the detail on the head and bill, sharp, and what a crazy, scruffy hairdo - adds to his character. The pastel blue BG sets the portrait off nicely.
