Shot this evening at my feeder. The sun is actually my neighbors security light! A pleasant surprise! That's way out of the box! I added a bit of canvas on the bottom, reduced noise in the BG, sharpened the birds head only and then illustrated with a Seeram action, erasing it from the head. C&C welcome.
Dan, I love that the sun is your neighbors security light! The DS Illustrated action looks good and I like that you kept his head clear. Nice colors!! Feels a bit tight. I love it!!
