This is very good, you did really well applying the background effect as it seems to make the bird and the branches almost jump out from the backdrop!

Very lovely. Rob. Fun playing with photos to get a non-traditional rendering, isn't it?

Wow, really cool shot to start with. The artistic result sure looks like colored pencil. I'm wondering how to avoid the ghosting or haloing. Looks like you tried to erase some pencil work... Otherwise, I sure like it.
