Thanks everybody- A very creative friend had made this bird for me a few years ago out of a few odd pieces found at different times in the desert with the exception of the 'eye', a piece of abalone shell.
Thank you. I moved here because the place is so strange. The little soft glow everywhere, but especially noticeable on the bird's body is, I believe called the 'Orton' effect. I tried to make it very subtle.
