This is just amazing, Gail. I must have been commenting on your silhouette when you posted this one because it wasn't here a second ago. This is probably going to get you MUCH more than an EP! The detail is awesome and the background a perfect blurr! You go, girl! #992875

I gigled when he started to "ring" just like a phone! Then he said" that's enough"..i hope to get several of him overtime...thanks again! #6415300

The detail in the feathers is amazing Gail. For being mostly white/light colored you captured a good range of tones.

Well done. #6417238
