Sumi Bufflehead!

This image started out as a sunset sillhouette. I fiddled with an Orton layer then an illustration layer.I didn't like what I was getting so, finally, I used the magic wand and selected the ducks, filled the remainder of the canvas with white, added the chop and the asian style font. C&C welcome.:)

Dan, I love what you did here-your one reflection has a yellow beak,I would prob. make that black since the yellow stands out as odd. I love the sig. and chop going down the page in a vertical!! White BG is perfect!!!

Thanks Denise. It's amazing what can be missed when posting. It's great to have these critiques! I removed the yellow bill in the repost. Thanks again:o

Nice comp and love the high key turn! I'm not too sure I love the light brown outline around the birds but I don't hate it so whatever you think is best there...

[Gus Cobos]

Excellent Dan...I like this as presented, the ducks are balanced in frame...the chineese character and the oriental block seal puts this over the top...congrats...:cool:

Simply elegant, Dan. I think the repost with the color removed from the reflection works best. Very creative work!

Hi Dan,
I too like this for it's elegant simplicity and minimalism. Lovely work!
