I added a poster effect to this and adjusted the lighting a bit.

Or does it look better w/ the lens flares?

I like both Lady Denise,
The first one shows his character, and the second one is an elevated version of his temper when he realizes that there are no peanuts...:eek::D:p;):cool:

Denise,
The first one really doesn't work for me. I've seen to many images look that way unintentionally;).

The second one is pretty dang cool. I think the lens flare at the top left could stand on it's own.
The only flare that I would like to see gone is intersecting the neck.

I've got to learn how to use photoshop!

PS I really like the "flare" that looks like he "pooted" out.

James, Thanks for the feedback-I will evict the flare that is intersecting w/ the neck-good advice!

I like the first post better but would sharpen the eye just a little bit more. Neat technique for the feathers - it really gives them some texture!
