[PuckDewd]

and removed the stone thing behind the sculpture.

[Nex]

[Tinusch]

Great job Nex!!

[eetu]

oh my, that's a good one!

if i have to say something, the edge of the wing might need a little bit of 'sharpen' effect.

the image seems to have a little bit of sharpen filter applied to it, or it's been taken with a digital camera which has a builtin sharpen filter (most of them do) - and this effect seems to be lacking from the wing edge. perhaps. dunno. or maybe it might need a 'tighter' antialias. or both. or neither.

warning, i often find myself being wrong :)

eetu.

[Hightop]

I really wounder how you did that...
maybe you could do a tutorial on it....

Kenzo Tanaka, Ian, Tinusch, Puckdewd: thanks for the comments!

eetu: yes you are right, the edge of the wing should be a bit more defined, thx.

Hightop: It was my first try on doing something like that, I don't think I am in the positon to write a tutorial about that - but thanks for the suggestion
