Excellent June! And some nice feathery textures:cool:
I’d be very satisfied with painting something that good myself!

I second what Mark said.
Very clear. What makes it for me though is the continuation of the feather pattern very faintly in the air, off the body. It just brings a level of surprise and interest, and it creates a relation subtly beyond the usual color field treatment around a portrait.
If I were waxing poetic, I would consider that rhythmic echo like a visual representation of the cooing sound they make -- like subtle waves of pigeon-ness in the air, as if the bird is delivering a soliloquy about the utter bliss of perching on a statue whilst doing Shakespeare in the Park.
Thank you so much gentlemen for the kind words.
Mark, the feathers were tricky spent a lot of time on them.
DA the effect you noticed was produced by spraying colour on the background layer and going over it with the Frosted Spots knife preset. I find I use that preset quite often.
