Comment from Cindy Betts


The detail is exceptional and the eyes of the birds feel like they have real depth and captured the predator feeling, always on the lookout.

Comment from DSE Graphics


This has excellent tones and contrast, Very well shaded, very well drawn. You captured the expression. The piece is something you should be very proud of.

    booters,
    I find your rating are very much in conflict with your comments, can you please explain that for me? thank you.
Comment from vanita


brilliant !
the art work is highly skilled. with only black and white colours you have created a live photograph. shading is so perfect. the theme is very interesting.

Comment from Ciel


Very nice result for all that patience, Lucien! I wouldn't want to be the mouse model... ;) I particularly like the element in the lower right, of the bird in flight coming directly at the viewer. Or reviewer, as the case may be!

Comment from journeytoforever


What beautiful painstaking work you do...Quite amazing to behold How do you do this with such pointed detail...I know this must take you hours and hours it is so very finely detailed and and beautifuly created..I was wondering if you use a picture as a model or create from inner vision... at any rate this is quite impressive, in it's very real and lifelike character.I like the way you put the birds into a perfectly formed collage each one fittting like a puzzle...Intriging and captivating your audience and drawing the viewer into the artistry,and once drawn in they are rewarded with even more fine detail,and thought provoking imagery!Very fine work...The eyes are intence and interesting also!

Comment from sarnewfie


i love the work you did on this, just one thing that kept me from going five, the head is somewhat missing or i am not seeing it with the bird with the prey in its talons, very nice job otherwise.

    sarnewfie; look again, see the eye, see the beak? (it's under the owls wing) because it's there. Do you really think I'd forget the head after all the work it took to create the image?... really now ( he said with disbelief in his voice)... thanks for taking the time to look and giving the review, much appreciated... take care and cheers...

Comment from JOANNE WOOLLEY


I can certainly appreciate how exhausted you must have been then when you eventually completed this one, I bet the rapidograph pen was a god send after that technique, lol! I love the continuity in this piece, the imagery is very striking and overall it is excellent. Very detailed work, well done, Joanne:)

Comment from Leighann


This is an amazing work of art you've done here. Absolutely amazing detail throughout the whole piece and you've done an excellent job incorporating all the different birds together in this piece. Really awesome work.

Wow !! Yet one more time.This is another fantastic work.To think of all those dots ! The composition is wonderful and I bet when you look back you would love to shake the hand of the one who invented the rapidograph pen !!
