Sorry Artie , I appreciate great detail in the subject but the missing eye doesn't float my boat, lots of posterisation - never seen so much in the blue background.

I normally would like to see the eyes, but this seems to work still because of the lines. The repost looks much better. What was the difference in your processing? Asking because I have had posterization a few times as well after doing some NR.

Thanks Kurt. I am pretty sure that I accidentally started with a relatively small JPEG and re-processed that. Yikes! I went back and began with the master file and all was well. I will be doing a video on creating quality JPEGs soon. See the blog for details in a few days.
with love, artie

Hi Artie, I like it, it's different and the strong, bold colours makes for a striking composition.

While there is an appealing graphic art nature to the image, I'm in the like to see an eye group.

Thanks for leaving a comment, Dan. After reading it several times, I cannot figure out what you mean. Please explain.

Hi Artie, I cannot decide whether I like it or not. The colors are very nice, as are the feather patterns. If pushed I guess I am more liking the image than not. Thank you for sharing.

I like it. I like it a lot. Abstracts like this are fun to look for, and to create. Obviously not everyone's cup of tea, but the same can be said of blurs, silhouettes, and many other styles.

Artie, from a purely abstract perspective it's nice. Being an Avian forum, we're so used to seeing the eyes (and necessarily so) but getting outside of that mindset, yeah it's cool and different.
The posterization is odd for sure, but if you processed a jpg then perhaps that's the issue.
You might also try one eliminating the tip of the beak. I know that may sound weird. but use the tones and textures with the diagonal line and I think it would make people pause for a moment and add interest.
