    Wow...I really like the dimensional quality of this image...my only thought is that perhaps the background needs to be softened just a little so that it doesn't compete quite so much with the bird in flight...but I love the concept and colors in the clouds are breath-taking. Nicely done!

    Nice job Mitch, I really like the clouds in the background. Nice placement of the bird in the frame. I see a dark border that is only on the right side of the frame. Was this intentional?

    Hey Mitch,
    almost looks like a topside view of the clouds! I am leaning with Johns assesment of the BG......but this does have a very 3D look to it. Good catch by Kerry on the RH edge too. All easy tweaks ot a very unusual image!

    Mitch, I like the dimension you were able to create here. Good suggestions by John and Kerry. You're doing really well with Remask

    Nice job compositing....I like the 3D look....wondering if you tried scaling the bird down just a bit in size!

    Some good suggestions offered above. I like the drama in the sky. Nice job.

    Good suggestions above, lovely background...one thing I like to do when I add a white bird into a sky....I create a mask on the top of the bird and using a soft brush at about 15% flow and lightly paint some of the sun's sky color on the white, just don't overdo it. This helps to make it more realistic. Good work with this Mitch
