    Hi Bill, this is a great pose and capture. I like the high key look. I suggest toning down the yellow on those legs and feet. I think those lovely feathers would pop even more with a slight levels adjustment (lower) to the mid-tones. Very nice!

    Bill, I've missed your images very much. Fantastic pose!! I love the details and the fract. work. Good suggestion by Kerry regarding the feet and does seem a bit tight on the bottom as Artie mentioned.

    Very nice pose Bill, agree about the midtones and it looks like a bit of a cast to me.

    Appreciate the observations! Especially the cropping, problems with the legs and feet, and curves adjustment needed. I don't see a color cast, but it could be my monitor. Thanks. regards~Bill

    Bill, I took the liberty of trying to colour correct. The greens were the most dominant (IMO) so I tried a rework. Hope you don't mind. Think my monitor is calibrated OK, although I know there is a wide variance. Hope the picture illustrates my point. The reds are just just warmed up a bit and the green removed.
