Hi Uncle Gus,
I like the capture and the painterly effect...I see some sharpening artifacts all the way around the bird...an easy fix, aside from this, it looks good...:cool:

Gus, One of these days you are going to have to stop by OOTB and post some of these works of art! Nicely done and I love the raised foot!!

... I'm with Oscar on this one !!!! ... Oscar don't encourage him .... might start painting blue things :D:D:)

Gus might only wish for a smoother color/texture transition between the bird and bg !!! I like it a lot maestro !!!
