I like the way this has turned out … it looks like something made out of stone with all the textures.

Bill, I'm usually in the camp of more room on top than bottom but w/ yhis image I think you did well w/ the framing since the rock on the left needed to be included and have a border. Love the pose and the filter work looks great. I need to start using Topaz Clean again. I might evict the white wash if it were mine.

Nice image and application, Bill.

I like the effect of the texture and the bird.

I might add a little to the top, if it were mine. But not knowing what lies up there, unsure.

However, your image ... your vision. ;)

Hi Bill, Love the stonelike texture to this. Great pose too. I agree with Denise on evicting the white wash.
