          Hey, my favourite is number 9, cause when the bird is flying over the nest, the independent feeling is higher, or I think so.

              I think the one with the check mark or the one above it.

              As I side note, I'd encourage you to number these before you post them. I find it makes things easier all around. 🙂

              Great thumbnails!

                      @bnewman I'm assuming this represents the baby bird who left the nest first. I like the ones where the wing break the image plane. Favorite would be 3rd over, 3rd down.

                        @tombarrettillo You got it. I like this one as well. Basically the same composition as the one above it, but mirror image.

                          This is where I struggle. I'm attempting to lay in value here with the brightest light past the tree line. Reasonably happy with the composition.

                            Here's my second with a darker forest background and mirror image composition.

                              I quite liked how this detail turned out.

                                      @laurie Thanks! Me too. I'm terrible at finishing but I will do my best.

                                        Ok, so I've been learning how to paint with Photoshop. Bought me a Wacom and stylus (had one years ago). Never digital painted before although I know Photoshop quite well. Painting is a whole new animal and I gotta say, I did NOT expect it to be this hard. Even with all the great SVS videos. In my mind I know what to do, but the proof is in the painting. I must have switched styles a dozen times and I reworked the composition. I've spent way too many hours on this so far when I should be doing my homework for the Turbocharging Creativity class. Anyway, I am doing my best to get this independence ill finished. I'm finally at a place where I like the background and I will (must) not paint over it again. Just throwing this out there... comments welcome of course. Constructive criticism is always welcome! I am super impressed with the level of conversation happening in this forum. I wish I had time to participate more. I enjoy seeing and reading about everyone's work!

                                          @bnewman I'm really digging the intense perspective and the colors in Version 4! I really get that impression of flying from it, and the warm browns on the bird pop out more against those blueish shadows. 😄
