Very well done! Thank you for sharing the tutorial. I think you've surpassed the demonstration in composition, form, and clarity, bringing your own special touch to the work. --Melody
I only deviated from the tutorial in a few places... I added an extra gradient over the background group, and took some liberties with everything else. I wanted my bird to look a little more like a pheasant than the one in the tutorial, so I changed it a little, too.
I used Photoshop to make this one. My usual software of choice is the GIMP. (Gnu Image Manipulation Program), but I've been trying to use Photoshop more. I've only made less than 50 pictures in Photoshop now, compared to the hundreds I've done in GIMP.
Beautifully composed. Is this one you did for your Photoshop class? I love the beautiful lines of the flower stems. I'm also very interested in the green background. I, too, would like to know more on how you created it. I also think you should post this in the Celebrations gallery. My one nitpick is that the signature should become more of the image itself. As it is right now, it doesn't quite fit. All aside, this is another very fine creation.
