The soft lines on the tree provide an interesting and really appealing contrast to this lovely lady. Well seen and captured, Yves.

Thank you for the nice comment Heather. I knew the nice background the bark was doing but didn't expect the result to be so appealing.

Debra Plett

Totally agree with you and Jane. The lines in the tree really caught my attention and then to see the perfectly focused Redwing sitting so pretty on the perch. Great shot Yves.

Yves Langlois

Than you very much Debra. Yes, that tree is doing very well here. A good surprise.

Jane LeBlanc

I love all the lines of the tree and the bird. Well done, Yves.

Yves Langlois

Thanks Jane. I love this shot for the same reason. The feather patern and the lines of the tree.

Description
It is only because I saw the bird going to perch that I took the shot because from a distance she was barely visible.
