A lovely display, Sandy.  As you noted in your comment on Mike's, they usually seem to find a way to have a stick in front of them when they do this.  Excellent job on the techs.

Beautiful display and image Sandy. A little more room at the top would have been nice. The feather detail is great. Well done!

Ideally I would have like a bit more room all around, but this still works well. Nice job controlling the busy environment with your framing decisions Sandy.
