The Eye has it

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Captured this Curve-billed Thrasher in our garden (Residents for about 25 years) yesterday afternoon perched on a Cholla Cactus just daring anyone to unsurp him from his throne

Painted him in Alien Skin Art Rage with finishing touches in CS5 including adding eye from original.

Comments and suggestions always welcome & appreciated.

Have a great day.

Gus

Gus, you have an almost surreal look going on with the oil paint and hyper-realistic eye! I like it a lot. Excellent painterly treating and the eye really makes the image different and interesting. Well done sir!

Ditto on above comments Gus, I like the oil painting texture of the print and that you left the border flat, the bird was posing for you....the eyes have it...well done

Nice image and application, Gus.

Agree with the others. Well done on this one.
