Fabulous shot - the overlay was inspired and gives a wonderful 'organic' starburst effect.

I love the direct stare - it makes it look really up close and personal.

Great shot Roz.

Nice capture, and the blue toning suits it as well.

what a fabulously ugly bird :- )

The best bit is that it has a look of faded elegance and grandeur about it - it's feathers make it look as if it is wearing some sort of wrap, or evening gown that has seen better days, and it's hair, beak and all the rest just look old and battered as if they too had seen better days - but it's still standing there wearing them :- )

Tim, congrats on your Blue - and glad to see that your comp with eyewave is still going strong :- )

While you describe this as a 'gimmick' shot it clearly had a pile of work go into it, and my blurry old eyes cant quite make out how many prints were used for the main print - is it 6 shots inside one ? or more ? everyone different, and all of them able to bring a smile to the viewers face.

Not a gimmick shot at all - a very good shot indeed :- )

Quite perfect - I actually prefer this shot (including the shapes and angles of your model) to the original.

Well deserved Blue - I'm only surprised it didn't score even higher.
