"Cat Ahoy!" ... guess you are going to land on "Mouse-Island" right?

nice work

good colors good mood like it author
the edges look too sharp but overall this is very nice
good luck author

well author.. it looks like you made it TOTALLY possible.. LOL.. very neat image

Awesome.

I like the color blending..so warm.. Nice job you have here author. GL!

This is cool...almost seems more like a launch than a landing...but cool nonetheless.

I was thinking launch also, maybe something additional in the foreground, I don't know much, but I know this is pretty awesome, superb entry author!

Edit: Is there a dog, ram, or other manipulation in the smoke/flames... looks like it?

Very good entry..good luck

Nicely done, but maybe just make the reflection of Mr birdie there a tad more transparent and the motion blur less transparent .. just a tad... GL

Very nice!

thanks Loopy, fixed

Still can't really see the bird's movement, and your lighting is reversed, with the bird lit from above and behind right, while the table is lit from below and the left.

the light is a flash coming directly off the birds back and it's to late to fix it now (I was just concentrating on the motion of the piece)

Very pretty

beautiful..
