    John:

    Looks like he is strolling through a low level sandstorm. The background band gives the impression that he needs a bit of CCW rotation. I would probably try a version with a bit cropped off the top.

    Fits this months theme well.

    Cheers

    Nice details in the darks and lights and I really like the BG colors. I agree with some off the top. Well done

    Very nice John. I love the 'dreamy' look on this one, with nice detail on the bird.

    Will
