I love the composition Jerry. Was wondering how you made the peacock and the duck appear so flat and two-dimensional--almost as if they were pasted into the scene--when I know they were not! #9348149

Congratulations on your outstanding finalist. Very unique. I like the way the feathers are curving in. I guess a threatening stance. #9415887
