Two kinds of people vote democrat. Rich people that don't have to work, and poor people who don't want to work.

Looks good but just one detail you might work on is the eyes. You spread the eye lids to wide and so the eyes appear to look strange. Should have a more normal look. Eyes are the one thing that can make all the difference in the world.

Thanks all! Beave... I could tell you that the wood looks cooler in person (I think it has some cool character that doesn't translate into the photo) but I understand what your saying. If the customer isn't happy on any mount I'll gladly change it Roc, I agree the eyes definitely make the biggest difference. I think the flash made them look more "open" than they are. Of course, I appreciate the feedback, without it none of us will ever get better. I'm now going to go look over his eyes again

Nice. Nothing wrong with that mount for commercial purposes. I agree with the eyes and driftwood but I think your client will be pleased with the mount. Good work!

My friend Chris does do awesome work. I think that's pretty special since he is self taught as far as bird taxidermy goes. Keep up the great work bud!

I saw this mount at the Allen dinner, and it looked really good. He also had a gadwall dead mount that was a good looking mount. Good work Chris 
Sometimes a little self-therapy is good for the soul... getting out to mother nature, finding peace in reading a good book, re-learning how to take care of yourself.

Maybe he was scared when he jump up!  Looks good but just one detail you might work on is the eyes. You spread the eye lids to wide and so the eyes appear to look strange. Should have a more normal look. Eyes are the one thing that can make all the difference in the world.
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.
