What a striking image!  Wonderful pose with the Oystercatcher contorting its neck to preen, yet balancing on one leg. Love the sweet lighting and the out-of-focus background – they set off your subject beautifully. Really nice job of painting too, particularly with the bird's feathers. A delightful and artistic piece, Carol, very well executed. 8)

Gorgeous, Carol!! Such a beautiful soft background in lush colors to set off a charming pose, wonderfully rendered-subtle and effective. The whole composition just sings- love it!
