Finished Painting
Original photograph , PP in LR3, with background blurred in CS5
Nice feel to this oil, Gus and I like the original shot. I prefer the version without the border, and maybe a little less room on the RHS.
Nice composition, Gus. Beautiful colors. I prefer the original followed by #2. Nicely done.
Gus, I'm adding the words Weekly Theme as this fits the theme very well. I love the first one the most. Colors are lovely. I might try a vertical comp if it were mine. Nicely done.
Nice image and application, Gus.
Very interesting painting effect and neat BG. Like the border as well.
Beautiful painting, Gus. I love the colors and BG. I like the second version with the border best. The shadow across the bird's chest bothers me a bit.

Gus, I love the first image the most. I'd like a vertical crop as well:)
