This picture was one I did right after I got my new Photoshop Elements 9 program to help me see some of the different bushes compared to my terribly older version of photoshop.

Completely free handed work of art that took about four hours to complete. I had to keep looking up pictures on Google to get the head right but I think I nailed it or at least got pretty damn close. Also I'm not supper good with background stuff still, but I think I did pretty good on this picture.

Anyway any comments or critiques on helping me improve my art (especially with the background stuff) is always appreciated. ^_^
