Hey again Cleo!
Another fine piece of art you have presented here. The textured green backdrop is perfect for the contrasts of this Yucatan Jay to stand out. The details have been rendered nicely and the framing is spot on. Thanks for sharing!

Love the bright soft blends of varied textures framing with its brush stroked greens that isolate, surrounding your contemplative Jay, so reflective. Your subject has such character all pensive, perched on his branch. Great digital rendering. Nice light.

This is great! I appreciate your attention to color accuracy and details. Bright green gives an optimistic attitude and makes a fantastic contrast with the black bird. Blue and yellow is a nice addition to the bird. It's not completely black, like a craw. Perfect composition and artist notes, as always! I don't have any sixes left to award this beautiful art...

Lovely digital art image, Cleo, showing this inquisitive looking bird perched on the branch. I love how you've done the background with soft foliage and vegetation. Excellent use of colour and shade and detail. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Pleasing composition of this Yucatan Jay. The position of the bird is well placed upon the limb. The details of the eye, beak and feet are interesting and well done.
The background of various green and yellow with the brush strokes of the palm is
exciting to view.
Nice work.

It is a very pretty bird you have pictured here Cleo, and I especially like all the fine textures being brought out in the background. The bird is done paying very good attention to details, and with good use of high lights.

The format and framing is perfect, and even if the bird is quite centered, I actually think the composition is working.

I think this is a truly lovely and well done digital painting, and with a strong visual impact.

It's amazing what can be done on digitally now. If I just saw this on line I would have thought it was a true oil painting. I love the background colors and textures. They really help the Jay pop out of your canvas. Fantastic!

Amazing, my eyes were stuck for a while to this art work. As a bird watcher myself I can easily corelate this art. A bird sitting on a branch and looking down with some curiosity in eyes, such a great way to express it through color and brush.

Cleo,
A beautiful digital painting of the Yucatan Jay perched on a thin branch his yellow ringed eye watching you. Created by your artist's eye for composition, very skilful digital painting techniques, beautiful choice blending & application of your colours.
Susan
