Very unusual work. At first glance it could be a butterfly, there are some similar to this. Colours are well blended together, the eyes seem to look right through you. Very sharp images.

Fabulous..it reminds me of the very fancy masks worn at the balls when Napolean and Josephine ruled Paris society. The eyes are amazing and the colours are really spectacular.Love the detail in the background that carry the hint of more feather. Excellent piece of work.

Comment from Anne
This is awesome. You need to do more of these because this is just beautiful. I like the layers and the coloring. The way you have the eyes and the detail in this is stunning. I like the variations in the coloring on the two sides. The way the eyes seem to glow and the highlights in them is excellent. Just an exceptional work. Your sure did an amazing first work If this was the first one just think what the rest will look like. Incredible work!!!

Thank you so very much for the lovely review Anne, and also for the 6 stars. It means a lot to me that you like this creation.

Comment from pfemd
Very beautiful creation!! I lovve the iridescence of the feathers, the color palette of the composition, the composition itself, the lighting, the bg. Even more amazing is that it's your first effort. You are an artist with an intuitive sense of scale, color, and terrific lighting

Hi Annie,

Love the fact you used a butterfly in this for the feathered face of the bird. It really works well! Love the look of this.

THe eyes seem to fit right in there. I think you did a great job with your layers and created a great digital bird. Very Nicely done My Friend. Hope you post the other bird you did!
:o) Helvi

Comment from shoregrass
I think it is really cool looking. Makes a striking first impression too. The color are truly wonderful and I really like that you did not make them symmetrical. In many ways it has the appearance of a masquerade mask and a very beautiful one at that. Excellent creation.
