'HI Joe, quite peaceful... I like the details on the neck but wish for more on the side and head. The whites have a cast or two, the back in shadow has a bluish cast and the side and tail has a pinkish/magenta. Now I'm on shakey ground here and wouldn't know if it is in need of correction or ...? I'm still in color cast kindergarten!
I like everything about this one. Except the fact that these monsters drive out native species :)
with love, artie
