Well, even though you didn't get the clarity on the bird that you did with the birdhouse, it still has a certain draw to it - especially for a grab shot. I think it is the form of the bird and the pattern within the wings and the color that are the attraction for me.

For me, it is the colors in your birdhouse photo and the in-your-face presentation. I like the rich blues of it against branch colors -- and the story is the best! My granddaughter did her handprint as a gift for her dad's birthday - and as he said, he will treasure it forever!
