Why do some of the pics go sideways? It is not so on my tablet. I am confused.

It might have something to do with the size of the picture when you upload it? Was this a very large file?

It is an excellent start and I look forward to seeing it progress. I see a bird eye..or a lizard?

This one is actually right side up.

Thanks, I am looking forward to seeing how this comes out myself. I am taking my time with it.

This is interesting. The shading and expression are great. The detail is great...but I don't know what it is. Is it a form of marine life, or a different kind of bird? Or is it an abstract?

Thank you Terry.

It is a Philippine eagle.

I looked up Philippine eagle and they are sure strange looking birds. You did a good job. Thanks.

I found the picture first and had to find out what it was, quite a search.

I like the sharply accurate details of the feathers.

Thank you, his feathers are more challenging than I first expected, kind of like "hairy" feathers. Wasn't sure if they were translating well.

Did what little background there is, some shadowing on his body below the wing and started placing the feathers on his chest. The rest needs to be finished in natural light because it involves a lot of yellow and grey and I cannot see those colors properly without some sun.

In order for me to see your picture properly I save it and open it in paint and rotate it. Do you see it upside down on the thread or is it just me?

I love the way it is coming out.

I know! He keeps landing on his face. I even got clever this time and rotated the pic so it would change it to the right position, THAT didn't work! Not sure why it is so determined to load this way. I guess I need to take the pic in landscape instead of portrait.
