I think I like the bottom part-but it makes me feel like I had too much coffee!

Thanks for playing Bill!

Good job!

I know this is an old thread but I like the picture so I wanted to try to do something with it.

No thread is "too old" to play; glad you jumped into this one. Very well done.

bcarll – your work is nice, what sets Gertrudis you used?

I did this for a smudge class I took a while ago. Here is my first smudge attempt.

Excellent job Tom-it really holds your attention!
Nice background, lightening of the shadow areas and details on the beak and eye. I added your image to the gallery.

Scott did a great job with you guys-I've seen lots of really nice work from people attending his class!

[Kraellin]

very nice, tom

[TomMewborn]

Thanks for the comments, Scotts class was very good, I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the smudge technique. The only problem is the time it takes to do a smudge, I have about 3 hours in the eagle. By the way, what is the gallery.

This was a huge challenge on two forums, when it first started.
I posted all submissions in a Gallery on my PBase.
