Great closeup of this beautiful bird taken by R. Lee.

R. Lee -- wonderful image -- nice technique and a lovely subject!

Decided to change the background to more of a sky effect, and to add elements -- window and hand. Palette Knife overlaid over layer of Find Edges gives the general look of the bird and the hand.

Hand image is from Morguefile.com

I used the same technique as I did for the parrot from several months back.

just some filters... and yes, i also think i overcombined it :-(
