Thanks CMYK46. Appreciate that. Coming up on 4 years Photoshopping now. Almost a veteran.

Thank you Zizounai. Very kind of you.

Congats Bro, even if you deserved a better vote...

TY Fruity. The Wolf and the Bird were afterthoughts. The wolf added a slight imbalance to the Chop - to my eye at least. I wanted to crop it wider to the right to get the balance right. However there were hundred of layers and that presented a problem. When you widen something like that you can get hard edges like where the right edge was from your brushing, masking, etc. I worked 2 hrs trying to get the crop right but there were certain things that just didn't line up. Looking through hundreds of layers to find those little things was really bugging me out, so I just left it as is. Hope I explained that right.

Appreciate your comment. That chop was full on "hammer and chisel". Just beat on it till it looked good. Hope you can relate.

Wonderthanks !
