In the far off heady days of summer, this little chap was having a great time walking down the reed stems and bathing in the water then flying up, singing his heart out and then repeating the process all over again.

I managed to creep close enough for some decent close shots. Here's the DC version (PS/Painter) and the original.

BTW hit f11 for full screen, and f11 again to return

Real nice work. The brush strokes are perfect for the feel of this image.

amazing work on the bg texture Clive!!! The texture complements the detail in the bird well and it gives a sense of closeness to the warbler!! Beautifully done.
