the hunt is on,great grey owl

this was my 1st timid attempt to add colour.in the original the eyes are golden and the feathering on the feet have a hint of gold. i did a sepia wash over the entire image (not the back ground {it's white} - that's due to issues with my camera) although it's hard to see 'cause i'm still very timid about adding colour).this is a print of the original and i had it done in b/w. i did this as a present for my brother's 60th birthday.it's an 11"x14" and once again there's about 30% loss of detail on the down-load.
