nice job.., for more finishing up.., use the smudge tool with pressure 20-30 with hard rounded brush..., (the tail area I suggest.) good luck to you

Thanks Anoop for your suggestion. So simple, I think it looks better now (I hope so).

Lovely, looks like water color painting

Thanks Cornelia. I wanted to draw a cockatoo for long time, and I thought, well, I think the time has come to do it. I like the effect of the smudged and overlayed layers.

The flowers that you made in the back scene is much more detail and sharp compared with the main object so it looks like out of focus. Maybe if you use dodge and burn tool more on the bird to increase the level of shadow and highlight, it will look better. Nice job, tho, and thanks to you now I know what kind of bird is cookatoo . Good luck to you.
