Scott,

Thank you very much for your very kind and fun comments. It is late here and 
I shall go to sleep, just 2 cents: I have burned a little bit the background 
and decreased clarity on it, also I've slightly burned the ultra white parts 
of the pigeon... no secrets here ....

Thanks again...

Cheers
Lluis
