Beautiful portrait, great pose and colours.

Flawless image of a beautiful little bird. I'm not fond of the twigs growing out of his back. You must be in great shape to hand-hold that monster and get this kind of quality.

nice image of a colorful bird,nice pose,good detail,if mine,would probly clone the twigs out.thanks.

[Ishmeet Sahni]

Ram this is brilliant stuff...Hand held, kudos to you...... I have to agree with the others...the twigs at the back of the bird need to be cloned out.

[Grace Scalzo]

Sweet image! Make those twigs go away and you'll have a real winner. I have good success with projects like this using quick masks and Artie's protect and defend technique. I learned this in APTATS. Contact him for more info. if you need help.
