Everything looks rather sharp here, but I feel like there are a few too many lines going in all directions. This is a good biological capture of the bird in its environment, but artistically I feel that it is too busy. It takes a second too long to find the subject. Sorry to always be the party pooper! You can tell me to stop anytime. (:

Thanks, Nancy. I always appreciate the honest critique! Don't stop.

I kind of like the pattern formed by the lines and the fact that you can't find the bird right away. I think of it as an abstract with a surprise. That's why I titled it Ice-scape instead of Marsh Wren. However, I can definitely see your point. It's really busy.
