I like the humor in this one as well as the diagonal created by the three birds back. Lovely colors and clarity as well. And the Loud Mouth is excellent! #897594

Thanks, Katarina and Doc. You were too quick for me, Doc. I uploaded under the title Wise Guy and then decided Loud Mouth might be slightly better--it wasn't displayed or entered in the contest but you were right on it :) Glad you both like the shot. #5769443
