looks very good to me.

Yep looks good to me too.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to say how you removed the netting so that it would of benefit those new PS.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

**Very good although I question leaving the horizontal black line coming from the owl's left 'horn'...looks to me like it is likely a part of the removed mesh ...unless of course you saw this sticking out of it's head when you shot the image. But not knowing the original I would have taken that out as well. Nice work around the fussy bits like leaves and feathers tho....

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

Question the question. Answer the question. Question the answer...

Neat job you did, it looks great!

If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead.

bobbystahr: you are right, normaly I throw it in the trashcan, but this time I thought I will give it a try, and afterwards I am happy I changed my mind instead delete it right away haha

Nice work - tho the bird's back has lost its sharpness - tip for getting that back:

use your smudge tool - or for more control: the liquify filter on "push" i think it is called and just nudge the edge back into place starting from the sky side of it.  You will change the contour of the bird's back slightly but nevertheless you will get a sharp edge which will put the image back to the "original" state.

careful using it tho - it has a tendency to get rid of detail and make the colours all the same   - which is why using it in something like this where the blue background is featureless is fine (the get around for the loss of colour detail is to put a small white layer on top of the area with some chromatic grain and then blend it with multiply).  Takes a bit more tweaking to do it in other circumstances.  Oh and you can use pretty much the same technique to make people look thinner ;)
