good effort nice result,........
I once tried to create this kind, but using motion blur instead of smudge tool,.....good luck...
how about adding some twigs on which the bird should stand ?

You have done great job . Take stem from source and make some branches and some sort of soft background will make it more beautiful. Thanks for giving me honour. Good luck to you.

Fantastic work , author. Your entries are getting better and better, Well done

this picture has a very nice feel to it and the bird looks very elegant with its long and whimsicle tail feathers you have done very well author the best of luck to you

@Tuckinator thanks a lot for such a good comment... thanks

How delicate it is... superb!

This has a very nice feel to it and he details are great, especially the long feathers from the tail. I agree with adding a stick to sit on - but it is really great just as is too. Well done.
