Painting is well done, nice brush size, just enough detail...original ain't bad either :D

[Mark Fuge]

Nice image and application.

One thing I notice is that I would have restored the catchlight in the painting. It would add life to the bird. But I like the image otherwise as posted.

[Gus Hallgren]

HI mark.

I agree . . ., also a smidge of contrast?

Best

Uncle Gus :D

Beautiful repost Gus. I love the painted look to your hummer. Nicely done. Catchlight looks good.

[Christopher Miller]

Lovely painted look, Gus, and great base image. Repost looks good, though the hummingbird looks a bit dark to me.

My choice is your repost here

Lovely original and painting. I also like the addition of the catchlight, but I think I prefer the background and bird in the first painting without the additional contrast.

Gus, the repost is perfect. Its a beautiful painting.
