I like the tittle Gus !!!! He does look like keeper in more ways than one !!!!

As presented would have moved right a bit to keep the bill from merging with the branch Not sure if you could have moved enough to eliminate It is actually fine Would try smoothing out the ones to the back

I like the composition, bird placement and processing !!!

nice job, gus. you did better with the bg than i did. NEED CS3 REALLY BAD. we would be picaso if we had the tools!!

I really like this Gus, great bird and I really like the BG colors/habitat.

Thanks guys for the complement...:)
Al do you think if I take out that branch touching the bill, it would look better; or just melt it blending in the background?

Personally I would probably ditch the branch, but that's just me.
