Awakening

My last submission for November 2004. Thanks for looking.

6/6

Nice feather detail. Looks like he's trying to keep warm!

This looks like me lately walking out from the office. Darn cold indeed! Great capture, Howard. ^_^

Really good detail in the feathers. I like the texture too.

This appears to be a difficult image to render in a way that does justice to the finished image. You've done an admirable job with the feather's textural rendering due to the angle of the light. I've performed a bit of cropping on this image and you can tell me to piss-off regarding my tampering, but I thought you might like this presentation too?

I like both versions, actually. I think that they each "say" different things. Your original image, as posted, is a lot about lines and curves and shiny colors. The crop above is more of a study in the textures in the feathers. Very nice, either way.

No problem dude, if you can teach...teach.
