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.

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. #8825065Anita Hogue August 13, 2010
