A pleasing painting that looks like a painting! The white swirl from the neck is especially intriguing, and the rich green leaves are the perfect setting for this bird.

What a neat tribute to Sange.
The idea that you digitally painted this blows my mind. The lighting and lines of the bird are perfect giving us a look at the details that you have applied with your many talents. Colors and shapes fill in around the bird for a complete scene. Stunning!

The values are perfect. The green and the auburn colors are a winning combination to make this painting picture perfect! Detail of your white feathers are superb.

Comment from Envision
This is remarkable Cleo! I don't know how you have created such a stunning rendition of the photo. The feathers and the facial features look so realistic and I really like how you added your own touch to the foliage. The details of the leaves look great and the colors add a nice brightness to the entire image.

A wonderful tribute to Sange's realist captures of the wild life. Excellent textures, light and shadow effects. Good balanced framing and composition.Thanks for sharing!
