very hard work here author.. Good luck (she looks a lot like Bjork)

Magnifique, j'adore.....Bonne chance !

Nice scene.Look amazing.

Thank you for your nice comments

Sword doesn't stand out from background. Sky value is too similar.

original idea, good luck

Who knows a colorful background, instead of a monotone one? So sword can cause more impact...

Thank you all, i liked the monotonous look of the image, but i have changed it, i feel like the sword pops out a lot more now. Thank you

nice sword.......

Now it stands out!

nice idea

very well done author. trees in the distance make more darker(now it is greyish) and top right area is bit dull, correct it. GL

Great work author

Where's the SOURCE??? (scampering out of the comment area before the author beats me with a stick HIGH MARKS!!!

Fantastic piece of work beautiful colours & composition little suggestion maybe blur the back tree's to give it a bit more depth... class stuff!!

awesome and i was sure it was u

Very good work like the bird -- maybe a bit of blur on the edges of the bird to give it a moe feathered look

Beautiful rendering

very nice

Excellent work, nice one

wow thats cooll

very nice image

Damn! nice work!

Amazing work, really creative.

wow...u made a forest and a bird from a dog;power to photoshop

well done. technical very good. cute bird! but the composing isnt perfect. theres a little to much of your great leaves, a little too less bird. it would be better if you leave the first 1/3 of the image away.

top entry

Thanks to all of you for your nice comments

Anatole,thanks for your notices, actually i had planed to come up with a couple sparrow not only one when i have started working on this entry,however when i was almost done with it i found out there was no harm for only a single sparrow,even though here i added another cute birdy for you.
as for the leaves actually i'm convinced with it,i own a huge mago orchard and know exactly how crowded trees should look like

great job for me it's the best so far ..well done author and GL

Very nice job Author. G/L.

There isn't even a hint of the source pic in this image. It could have been made from anything. It's very well done, but should show at least some remnant of the source.

Have heard of catbirds but never 'dogbirds' LOL It's a beautiful bird, though. Why would their tails be so different? GL

Congrats! Well done!
