Steve, I like the artistic flow to the branches and the painterly look to the image. Nice job. The framing is different and I like it. You can post up to 1024 max horizontal and 800 max vertical. I'm thinking this would show better a little bigger. :)
Greetings. I particularly like the color - contrasting blues and orange-reds. I think I would prefer a less square aspect ratio for this one and a little less fading to white on the right and left edges. Good work on the painterly look...
The painting effect looks very nice, and I like the ragged frame edge. A slight head turn would have made it even better IMO, but as is the HA isn't bad. I would like to see a little catchlight perhaps in the bird's eye.
I also would like to see it a bit bigger but from what I see I'd say you need to paint back in a few details on the bird - especially in the face/eye. Agree with Denise that the comp is lovely and has a good flow to it.
