Thats a beauty Dawn, the buntings pose is spot on and as already mentioned by JR the habitat adds to the image. Nicely done.

I think this works beautifully, perhaps just a tad more space at the top for the bird to look into, but that is a very, very minor nit.

A shame there's no audio. A lovely 2D image.

Regarding your question about 3D glasses. Viewing anaglyphs can be very subjective (and emotive). My anaglyphs are optimised for red/cyan glasses. I have a pair from Amazon.co.uk which I use most of the time.

Although paper ones can be very effective, which can be obtained free with this book for example

I love this one Dawn. What I would call a wall image.ie. the type of picture I would like to see hung on a wall. :toast:
