Young Galahs

[Kora Baker]

Used <other> maximum and minimum to try and create the effect of the way the sunlight was catching the kentia palm leaves these young galahs were perching on, and also the movement s the thin frond bouned around. Several layers with a bit of frac and this and that, including a texture on one layer:)

Kora, The texture looks nice and the colors are great. I would love to see the original. If it were mine I would crop some off the top just below the fork.This is a different look and it's nice to see you experimenting around. Nicely done.

Other than the crop, I'd remove the line right under the left bird.
Love the different texture.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions denise, and Fabs. I left the fork at the top because to my eyes it acted as an arrow pointing back down to the birds. Maybe if I cropped it down about 3/4" or so it might work better?
Here's the original, denise:)

REPOST: Cropped a bit from the top and removed the lines as suggested. Think it does look a tad better:)

Kora like the textures and colours. Would love to see a little more definition in the beak on the right. I would grab the beak from the left and rotate it around til it looked right. Just another idea. You have done a great job with the texture.

Kora, Thanks for posting the original. You have made soup from a stone. Fantastic transformation.:)
