Thought I'd do something different than the usual Phoenix so found a Parrot instead. Hope you like it!

Photoshopper says:
Hello there, this one is awesome.
And when i think something is awesome, i always like to say something wich could improve it or give it a little extra.
So my 2 cents would be:
The text on the lighter / cooler states: "BIG", if you could manage it to say "SMALL" on the cooler version, than i would say: PERFECT !
CMYK46 says:
Ummm...it's a BIC lighter...
(And why would the other lighter say "small" if they're both the same size?).
author says:
i agree with you CMYK46 it's a BIC lighter not BIG...
and i got your point Photoshopper, it's because the theme is opposite,
BIG and SMALL for the lighter font brand not the size of the lighter itself.
but i decided not to do the "perfect" you say photoshopper. If i can alter the source image i will do it. make it as BIG and SMALL. Thank you guys for the comments...

Phoenix Next - created by Robart523
I knew I wanted to do a phoenix of sorts, so I searched for a LONG time to find just the right bird to transform. I'm rather pleased with the source I found and with the final product I arrived at. If you have a minute PLEASE look at the high res, there's a ton more detail than you can really see in the small image :) (5 years and 2942 days ago)
Eladine says:

Nice! Parrot rising! The flames look great around the bird.
NICE! I would have played a little bit more with the blurred flames at the front to enhance the depth of field effect.
And there are some weird vertical lines at the lower left of the parrot...intensional?
I have a semi noticeable DOF but you can't notice it so much on the flames at the front, I was going to put some floating embers in the foreground but am still undecided on that. I tried to limit the flames in front to focus on the bird more.
The lines you mention are the tips of the parrots wing and tail feathers, they do look out of place but I at least wanted some the wing showing, could probably tone them down abit
Congrats James
