I added a bit of Fractalius and then a Color-efex layer to get some layered colors in the image. I do wish for a bit more head turn BUT...

That is too cute, Denise! Love the soft yellow at the bottom of the image against all the other colors but that 'crown' on his head is really what made me smile. Beautiful simplicity...

[Julie Brown]

Denise, like Jules, I think the crown is adorable. :) I also like the reflection in the foreground and how your colors transition into the BG.

[Nick Palmieri]

Like the water and the crown. May be better with more of an head turn but enough interest as presented.

Nice image and application, Denise.

Sometimes we just have to take what Mother Nature puts on the plate and do what comes naturally! This one works, without the "perfect H.A." ;) :cool:

Very nice image, Denise. Works very well in spite of the HA. Beautiful colors, and I love the headdress! :D

Beautiful composition, Denise. Just love those colors and the fract effect. Definitely a Billy Idol bird:)
