Cindy, this is a beautiful image and greeting!  I love the composition with the chickadee looking up and over to the greeting, and your painting in Topaz looks very real and natural. It appears you are really mastering your new camera and lenses. Great work!  The effort you put forth in the P&DA Gallery is significant and is greatly appreciated. Thank you, and best wishes to you and your family for happiness during the holidays.

Hey, Andre-thank you! The lens is indeed the 300 f4 lens. A little gem! so lightweight and sharp. I am new to Nikon and happy to be there (though I still have a lot of Canon gear....).
Here's to a wonderful and creative New Year!

Really like this. Well composed and good use of Topaz software (which I really enjoy using).

Thanks for sharing.

Mark

What a lovely card, these tiny birds are just adorable featherballs and perfect for the season.  :D
