Karen, Another beauty! Wonderful little bird with fine detail, and the pussy willow (don't know what you call them on that side of the "pond!") perch is simple and elegant.
Gorgeous!

Great background -- I like the pinks on the branches and the matching pinks on the bird --

Karen, top notch in my book. I love the soft pastel colors and you could not have picked a better perch. Well done!!

Beautiful, Karen. I love the puffed out pose and the way the colors of the twig and bg work with those of the Tit. :toast:

Beautiful image, Karen. The LTT is nicely isolated against that smooth BG :toast:

Very nice portrait of this little one. All of the colors work together on this and I really like the position of the perch and bird. BG is fantastic. The larger version really makes this one shine.
