Hi there...

This is a piece that I thought was done quite awile ago but have learnt a bit since then and wanted to possibly touch it up and make it a better final product. So, beofre I get started...any suggestions from anyone?

Personally...the sparklies seem a bit too much to me now, maybe some more definition on the flowers and leaves.It's too muddy behind the leaves, but that evens out depending on the color adjustments to where you can't see it. I know the wings aren't that furry on a real hummingbird but I kind of liked the way they came out, so I'd like those to stay. I might post 2 versions as in the first one I'm intensifying everything to see what Ive really got there and in the second I'll put one that's not adjusted. I got a new monitor over the holidays and WOW..what a difference!

Thanks to any who take a few moments to offer some insight...

A new better monitor can make a world of difference.
Grats on the new one.

Well instead of the flowers being ultra white from the glow, perhaps a colour glow from the bird will help make it interact more.

Maybe remove some of the glow from the beck as it makes it look a bit thick for this kind of bird. Maybe some dew on the flowers and leaves so they look fresher...and the biggest flower could look more real as it is a focus point... because the top left seems to look a bit more detailed than that one in comparison.
