Love it will try myself sometime in the future. I wonder if the bird is a little to central

I like your little guy there Gus , the image it is drives to oil paint :)

[Julie Kenward]

It's lovely, Gus! I never tire of seeing the visitors to your garden. I also think he's a bit too centered - maybe a bit off the right side since he's looking left. Otherwise, a remarkable image!

Gus, You aren't boring me. I love these. I think Jules makes a good suggestion regarding the crop. I might tone down the perch on the right a bit. Nice work as usual!:)

Hi Gus, love seeing your paintings of the birds in your garden. Agree with Julie's comments.

Beautiful work, Gus, and please keep them coming! :) Love the BG on this, and I agree with Jules suggestion on the comp.

Gus, I rather like the just off-centre composition here ... did you paint this with oils or is it a photograph that has been filtered etc!?

Cheers

Hi Amano;

This was done digitally from a photo taken from my garden. I use a free program called Fotosketcher and do finishing using CS5. Some of the finishing is descibed at the head of this Forum and other posts.

It's a lot of fun pushing the envelope for OOTB forum

Have fun

Gus
