My goal when creating this was to do a clean, attractive desktop with strong shape and line. This is completely Photoshop play. I really enjoy blue, so I've posted the blue version. But, if you prefer, here's a red version as well. I would appreciate any of your feedback or comments. Have a great day.

You've got me with this one. I love the deep blue. If I look at this one way, I see the Bird of Prey and if I look at it a bit differently, I see a serpent ready to strike. Awesome job.

This piece is quite a departure from recent works. I was really surprised and pleased not only with the striking design, but the choice of colors. I took both to suit my changing moods. Thanks, Nathan!

This is different and wonderful. I kept them both, the red is very flashy but I think I like the blue best. I truly like what you have done here.

This will get a lot of use on my busy desktop. Sleek, modern and clean. Very elegant!

very nice. I like both of them. Blue for the subtle moment, Red for the moment. *ponders if that makes sense* Nicely done.

This has a fantastic design and is very effective! You definitely succeeded in your goal! The different shades of blue really flow together nicely. This has a great "pop" but is still not overdone. Excellent work!

I hope you'll create more images like this one. I enjoy the rich rue, bold lines, and minimalist composition. Congratulations.

Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments. I am planning on doing some more like this. I have been busy creating, and have quite a backlog of new things to post.

Can't wait to see what you have in backlog! This one is fabulous - I like the red as well, but this one really hits the mark. It's been so long since I have had a chance to surf caedes and I find myself drawn to so many of your recent posts - this is quite a departure from what I am use to expecting from you and you have brilliantly succeeded with this one - great shape, wonderful flow and love the metallic touch on the eye. Straight to favs. :)

Oh, I really like this. Love the clean lines. Love the subtle texture in the background. This is calming, but bold. Good work!

I love simple and strong lines like in this image. I love blue too, especially intense and saturated blues like this. Great work.
