Nice work!

This is funny. Perched on a rooftop, this guy could be some new vigilante protecting his city.
Good luck!

This is great! Excellent portrayal, and such an intense selection of stock! Your lighting, shadows, and blending is superb.
I love this!

Agree with jadedink. Good looking image all round.

Interesting CBR (Chopped Beyond Recognition), but so much of the original image has been lost, this could have been created with any image.

I have to agree with mossy...although an interesting final result, its a bit too cbr for my tastes.

Where's the Sling Shot? hehehe.. inventive (need to fix the wing tip on the profile bird (NITPICK) ) good job and good luck

The birds need to be slightly repositioned on the rings, their feet are too far in front, making them look pasted in front of, rather than on the rings. Also, the "sparkle" brush highlights are bit too obvious, reducing the opacity slightly will make them seem more natural.

Nicely done. Add some shadows where the birds sit on the rings, Agree with Mossy on the sparkly brush.... GL

I agree with all the above...also, what material are the rings made from? The sparkle brushes indicate metal, but they have a wood like construction. The edges of the birds could have been softer, making them blend better and look natural in the setting.

Just a few minor things that might help. good luck

Night sky background? Looks like daylight to me...

Very creative, looks like the skies we used to get in Northern Wisconsin when there was no Light Pollution coming from a city because we were too remote.. GREAT JOB!!!!

I agree, that sky reminds me of a sky deep in the mountains of South Western Carolina or out in northern Arizona. There are still places where you can see the night sky in all it's grandeur with out all the city lights. Nice chop.

The color change on the birds is well done...funny thing, the sky made me think early morning before sunrise, maybe even winter.
There is some areas on the left birds head and feathers that could have been better extracted, but thats nitpicking. Good luck!
