    Great image Sandy! Lovely colors and the texture of the extrusion flows nicely with the beak and feathers. The eye is a perfect anchor point.:)

    Very subtle Sandy, almost looks like a needlepoint. Great colours throughout.

    Beautiful colors and image, Sandy. I'd like to see a little more perch to ground him a bit.:)

    I love both the effect and the bird here. A bit more room all around would be nice. I would lighten the head a bit and desaturate the belly. Otherwise, great :)

    Sandy, Really nice work w/ the filter. I think everything has been covered. I too would like a bit of a perch to anchor it as Cheryl pointed out. It does look like needle-point.:)

    Sandy, I love the rich colors and your use of the filter settings. Agree with the notion of more room and a bit of perch, but I really like this one!

    I think this is a lovely image. I like the bright and colorful colors. I agree with the comments that this reminds me of needle point or embroidery. I don't mid the tightness too much but agree with Denise on the perch.
