LOL Keith!!!

Have a good meal tonight... I'm sure you'll look fine;) Maybe not as nice as this lovely sparrow though... it'd take a lot to complete with this great picture.:-O

Nice one laddie.
 
Good one, Keith; great pose, detail, colour, and lighting. (Good luck with, Mali; I've a feeling you'll need it ;) )
 
Great colourful and well lit capture against that backdrop Keith, well done. The bird population will be getting some earache tonight then. Enjoy your meal.
