this I would consider as kitch, because it is a mass produced variety of a very famous artist's work. his originals are a long way from kitch, if you have ever seen one, as I have..........

the light and contrast levels on this need a little work, the subject is a little 'flat'. it needs 'popping'...........light, contrast, levels, curves and saturation..............

It is kitch, a lady friend bought it from a group of wandering gypsies, when they began getting pushy. The "gilding" comes off, if you only scratch it with your finger nail. As for the rest, just because I agree with your suggestions, I might give it a try. Thanks, anyway

much better...............

very cool piece...gl

GREAT Focal point! Nice work

What are YOU looking at! (said my avitar)
Nice detail in the eyes.

great shot!

Great close-up. Any idea what bird this is?

I was a little too busy shooting all the birds in the aviary to pay attention to what all of them were.

So, on this one Jean, no clue.

You, of course!

Look at those red eyes...what a bird! Nice shot

o brother....he looks so pissed...GL author

Nice, but you can't see the tape very well

Just wish you got closer to the mouse and made it the main focus so we could see the tape on the mouse.

What a cutie = )

Kookaburras, yes? Great shot..

Yes, they sure are Kookaburras. Lovely birds unless you are out camping and feel like sleeping in past dawn
