I took this image at Gatorland. I added a Fractalius effect to it and masked back in some detail. I used one of the sketch presets and then adjusted it. I wanted a high-key look. I left the water circle in the image to keep a realistic look to it.:)

Very nice pose, Denise. I like the soft colors and high-key look. Only thing I might change would be have a little more room on the right and a little less on the left. Very well done. :)
I like the high key look, the killer breeding plumage, and the SH. I wish that the near underwing was a bit more visible (i.e., raised up a bit). To see the circle, tilt your screen back :)
