I had to open this thumbnail - I wondered if it was a painting. Even after seeing it full-sized, I can still wonder if I let my mind "slip" that direction. Marvelous work! The bird is so perfectly focused, so sharp and detailed, and everything else but for a bit of her perch twig is perfectly UNfocused, just so. :t: :t:
