I love this!! Wings are balanced well. Colors and shading, and shadowing are excellent. Background is a nice mix to highlight your main attraction. Great job.

Cleo,
A brilliant & very beautiful picture of the mountain Bluebird in flight looking as if it were about to land. Created with your artist's eye for composition, very skilful digital art techniques about which I know nothing except you have managed to bring this bird to wing flapping life on your canvas. I'd not be surprised if it flew off in front of me!
Susan

Gorgeous illumination with a dramatic interplay between light & darkness.

An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors. Excellent details & features. Impressive strokes & textures. Thanks for sharing...

Cool,Cleo!
That's a fine looking digital rendition of this colorful avian creature and the nice 'In Action' pose that you've pictured it in is interesting and enjoyable!
'Good Show',my friend!

Cleo, this is an excellent rendition of the bluebird. The details in the wings, feet and tail feathers are beautiful done and very realistic. Colors and tones are natural.

Beautiful soft colors. Nice details on the trains and wings. Great position to show the bird's movement and intention. Looks like something one might find painted on a ceiling in a palace!

This is lovely Cleo. I like how realistic the wings look. The colors are very nice. The texture of the feathers look great, and I enjoy the textures in the background too. Very pretty and talented work!

Awesome work witch Cleo. The body form and language is excellent. The details is excellent. The facial expression is excellent. The shading is superb. The blend of the colors is perfect. Isn't fun to work with oil in the computer than real life. Oil takes so darn long to dry. The creation is well balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Very creative and awesome work overall that pains me that I don't a 6 to reward you..how bout I do this (standing clapping and cheering) wooooooohhooooo

    Thank you very much for cheering so enthsiastically.
    Yes, its fun to work with oil. My favorite on both, canvas and computer. Real oil needs indeed long time to dry, but the colors are easier to mix. The best advantage of computer colors is that I won't get spattered with them. :o)
