Oil Painted Bunting
A favorite from an Alan Murphy workshop. I like the PB effects on the leaves and berries. The whole image jumps out for me.
Steve, I like this...the warm color of the background the line of the branch, the curves of the twigs that hold the berries, the bright colors of the bunting...it all works very nicely together. If it were mine, I'd extend the canvas on the right just a bit past the berries...it seems a bit tight...and maybe evict the tip of the leave that extends past the berries closest to the LHS for the same reason. If the background is on a separate layer, maybe soften the texture just a smidge?...I'm not sure, I'd have to see it. Very nicely done.
Steve, I could tell it was an Alan Murphy set up from the thumbnail! Beautifully done! I would take a slice off the top if it were mine.
Beautiful capture and excellent processing Steve! I agree about a sliver off the top.
Hi Steve, a lovely image and beautiful treatment as well. Ditto a slice off the top.
Really nice rendition of a great base image. Agree with Denise that a bit of a trim off the top would tighten it.
Steve, a beautiful capture. I like the PB effect but would like less on the background. If you don't have the layers you could run it back through PB and change the bg and then mask back in the rest.

Thanks I will take heed of the recommendations when I print it.This was done without any layers at all, so going back to layers will not work. As a t-Rex on photoshop, I just work my way the old way. Perhaps it is time to take some classes, if I get the time.
Thanks again.
