Ron a very rich a vibrant backdrop to a very colourful bird. No too sure if the HA works, as it is head on, especially with the fruit in it's beak?

I don't know which is the more beautiful, the tree or the bird - they are fighting each other :wink:

Bird and tree both beautiful but agree with Steve I think they are fighting with each other.
