David, marvelous work with the PP. beautiful color on the peacock and you've given the lion real dimension and definition. Can I send all my mistakes your way so you can fix them up? they'd keep you busy for the next 20 years or so.

These are FANTASTIC David! I really like what you did here with these. Really, really great work! I have yet to learn these skills with my CS3. I just got it and I am slowly learning a few things, like how to open a RAW image, haha! I have a long way to go to achieve anything like this. I just love the peacock he really draws the eye!

The originals of these were great in themselves David, but the work you have done after is just amazing. You are very talented my friend. Outstanding work.

Jake.
