I was playing with lines again, and detail secondarily. Thought about cloning out the branches, but they added something. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

Wow, very well done.

Bill, I love the graphic quality of this - well done!

Bill, I like the thin branches that are in the BG especially since they are on a diagonal. I feel the comp. is just a bit too tight. Beautiful curved up wing tips and the Fractalius work looks great.:)

[Julie Kenward]

Love the way the wingtip almost kisses the bill of the bird. Beautiful!

Nice image and application, Bill.

Would agree that the branches behind the bird add to the image, giving it place.

Appreciate the feedback as always! I'm in agreement with Denise about it being too tight. regards~Bill
