bird emoticon please . thanks

They are hard to catch in the lens. Got a few pics of him flying, but when I try to get close, he's off.
Nice job.

We see them here quite often as we're two blocks from KVI Beach here on Vashon Island.

Really beautiful job! I love it!

I wish I had half your talent!

But patience and a steady hand are more important than talent when you're trying to paint an accurate representation from a photo. Talent shows when you can create something that's beyond the photo, but I'm doing bird paintings to learn about birds and how they're put together. I'm not sure it's really even art.
