Tammy- I think your background really adds to the beauty of this picture. Love the way the lines of the grass run. A beautiful little bird and I so enjoy his pose on that stick. Love the way you framed and composed it, the colors are a treat to the eyes. A work of beauty my friend.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy. #8824668

This one just drew me right in Tammy--it's the great grassy background, the angle of the stick, and the cocked head attitude of the bird. Great combination. #8825065
