The pink swirls are somewhat distracting, and are placed in such a way, it looks like the bird has gas...

i think the wings are too small for such a big bird ----that's why the pink swirls are distracting .......... ( Do birds have gas ?)

SBS will be useful ....... Good luck

nice....

While I really like the desing of the bird, I must say that the background kind of spoils it. Not that it's bad or something, but I think a plain dark (black maybe) background would make the bird stand out in a cool way. Just my opinion of course

@MossyB: Adjusted the smoke
@designed: I just used the source for the sizes. SBS added!
@ kushpatel: Thank you
@ JimLemon: I tried the black background, it was oké, but it wasn't great. Sorry, but i'm not going to change it. Thanks for the opinion though

Kinda pushing the rules on using the source IMO, that being said I do like the image you've created with the source as a template/reference. Best Of luck
