    The curves and lines and the play of lights and darks originally caught my eye (in the thumbnail), then the flow (medium size), then the detail in the eye and feathers (large size) capped it all off. Beautifully seen and captured!

    Mostly the phrase is: Your painting looks good enough to be photo’
    In this case its : The photo looks so good that looks like an oil painting.
    The detail, the colours, the close framing – all comes together for the perfect shot.

  • William C. Gla... replied

    WOW…thank you gottheshot…your comments are so nice and greatly appreciated :-)

    Bill this is real nice. I love this shot!

    Gladish is my mother’s maiden name. Her roots are in the Ukraine. Any family there?

  • William C. Gla... replied

    Hello Alkukitz,
    Thanks for the kind words :-) As for the family and my understanding, the Gladish clan I’m most related to came from England to the U.S. and that was almost two hundred years ago.
