Hi William

Your European Starling is a great painting, and shows how starting with a great capture can lead to suprising and super results.

Impressed

Hi..its not hard to see, why in the right light, Starlings are considered by many in "Europe", to be the most beautiful of birds (that was as tough to type as it will be to read). Lovely pose and head turn, killer effect you work magic...

Bill, I was starting to miss your painted/sketched birds. I like the comp. w/ the fence tops and the BG colors. Very nice details in the Starling and you captured the iridescent colors well.

Beautiful work on the bird and an incredible soft backround. I just love these images. As stated above, the original capture must be just as impressive. I'm still humbled.

Beautiful colors and a great capture from the beautifully soft bg to the details in the bird.

Beautiful composition, Bill. Love the pose, details and bg. Great use of filters.

Beautiful image, Bill! I love the soft colors and BG, and excellent pose and details on the bird. :)

I appreciate the nice comments, as usual. I've been working on my new website, so I haven't posted in a few days. Not anywhere near complete, but I do have some similar fractalius images here.
Also previous BPN posted images here. regards~Bill

Bill, another masterpiece:) I love the soft bg colors and the detail in the starling. I think they are beautiful birds and your painting certainly does them justice.
