lol...on the cheap blank, I'll buff it up and bring it south. The guide set up is pretty funky for todays high standards.

Nice Job! I like the ruffled feathers look if you did that on purpose or not!
Makes the pattern look like ANGELS instead of birds! Halleluya!! LOL

Michael, this rivals Jim's thunderbird on the most popular images. The colors are awesome. Great job!
