Not something I'd usually post but I thought I'd sneak it in under the wire. All comments are welcome. Thanks for looking!

( I should add that I tried cropping this horozontally but for some reason liked it this way better. )

Lovely silhouette! I really love the background, awesome colours and sharp silhouette. When I first saw it the first thought that crossed my mind was "Quick Jeb, get the cows out, there's a giant sparrow on the barn!"

Love the BG and the little bill being open. Nice shot Laura.

Laura,

Very nicely done. The colors are fantastic. I really like the open beak.

This is a sweet image Laura! it really shouldn't work with such a small bird on such a large perch - but it does!!

Great shot and the gorgeous BG shade is the icing on the cake.
