Heather Loewenhardt level-classic September 30, 2011

I feel like I might be winding through a maze and eventually coming out where the magpie rests. The tonality of the image is soothing and then there is that sudden blast of colour to keep the eye focused. Another professional framing of a spectacular image. #9708347
