My usual fractalius treatment, except evened out much of the background with one color. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill
Bill, Great image and comp. My favorite parts are the eye, growth on feet and fog-like BG. Fun to see the different frac effects on this forum.:)
I love the soft blue/green background colors. Beautiful sharp eye. The leaves in the LLC. are lovely. Pose and perch are great.:)
Bill, I love the bg color and treatment. Super pose:)

I agree with the others - this is one where all the elements come together to strengthen what starts out as a great bird image. I wish the white feathers on the back side of the bird were a tad bit sharper or more defined but everything else is a home run for me.
Like the two feathers blowing in the wind. Nice post and eye contact Bill.
