Comment from Daphne Oberon
A lot of nice motion and a delightful concept, but in most places these would be called cockatoos not, parakeets... They might be called parakeets somewhere though. The young man looks like he is holding an African Grey? Wish that under his right arm was blue as the shoulder did not come down so low... Delightful generally though... Daphne Oberon

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Subdued color rendition with
nicely presented dynamic subject in different acrobatic flight stunts!

Subtle illumination.
Diffused focusing.
Please enhance sharpness and clarity!

Thanks for sharing...

Your welcome

Comment from john kuhenbeaker
I like the action that you indicate in this painting. I also love the composition and how one is drawn in with the circular composition. It looks like a watercolor however and it is an acrylic I feel that there could have been a bit more detail and that the bird in the lower right should be bigger after all he is in the foreground .

Thank you for your review and valuable comments. I am looking more closely at my photograph of the painting. One critique thought it needed sharpness improvement so I intend to have a quick look at the best photograph of this art and see if I can get the full round in which might improve the impact of the parakeet in the foreground. Again thank you for your time.

Comment from Linda Wetzel
There is a black pNther watching from the tree canopy. It is very clever how you blended it into the background from a distance. This is a fantastical scene where the female figure is cleRly oblivious to the impending danger and the activities of the birds behind her back.

Comment from alaskapat
This is awesome! It's very well created with good details and colors very well applied, it tells the story I love it! The woman has no idea that her cherries are being taken by the parakeets! I love the way you show her view off the balcony ! Love the in flight parakeets! Very well rendered and fun to view! Good luck to you in the contest!
