Very beautiful work but the light Ždoesnt appear correct for me because the background is too dark.
I dont have certain but I think that you cant put in the description that this work is an entry for a contest. Read the rules please.

Moody, fascinating, and deep. It keeps the eye acanning and moving around to take it all in. Would you tell me more about how you did this? Did it start as a watercolor? Splendid.

This is such a beautiful painting, great for the contest entry. I love the way you have presented the bird in her environment that seems a bit spooky with the colors you have used. Excellent pose and perfect details presented. Thank you so much for sharing it and best wishes for the contest.

Comment from Details


This is wonderful. The background has a dark, gloomy, misty feel to it which sets the tone - then the egret that looks so graceful adds some calming effect. Technically excellent - but also the feel to this is outstanding.

Another beautiful bird portrait. You have captured the delicacy of the plumage amazingly and it contrast so well with the gloomy swamp background! Stunning!

I like the deep contrast between the Egret and the tree in which it stands in front of. The way there is a glow surrounding him is nice to emphasize how regal he is. Creative techniques are all good as well as overall composition. Thanks for sharing with us.

Wow, such a dark, scary background, but he does stand out well against it. Very nice details on the egret. Nice watercolor effect, especially in the background.
