    I used both PB Oil Paint and then Fractalius on this captive Peregrine falcon.
    Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated

    Nice design of a potentially awkward pose and size of the bird in the frame. Love the effect on the bird but not crazy about it on the background.

    Beautiful composition, Cheryl. I like the close crop... great use of filter and processing. TFS.

    Beautiful, regal, bird and portrait, Cheryl. Nice touch with the processing - has an almost velvet texture to it. Well done!

    It looks like the bird posed for you--how convenient! I like the processing--just enough, not too much, and subdued colors. The only suggestion I have is to add a bit of brightness or color to the eye so it stands out a bit more. Nice work!
