Beautiful dreamy colors. Very creative crop and the effect w/ the texture BG is very nicely done!

Hi Dave, the eye is riveting and carries the image nicely.Good use of filters with detail.For my taste I would crop the image from the bottom up to the end of the lower pink area on the bill.A minor point...

Very nice colors and comp, Dave. The eye is placed perfectly.

Another good one Dave. The soft colors balance out that intense eye. I also like the crop - just enough bill to ID the bird. I need to get the newest release on DAP - today! Thanks for the updates on how it has been going.

Beautiful, Dave. I really like the treatment of the eye and the soft tones of the rest of the image. Great texture, and creative crop.

Patti.....Cindy, thank you much for the comments.

Dave, beautiful painting. I love the intensity of the eye surrounded by the soft colors and textures of the
feathers.
