  Thank you, Ashleigh, will definitely try that out myself and maybe as I’m not sure where to take my photography when my first year of posting ends in august…maybe selling some could be an option!

What a fantastic capture! I love the little birds’ feet – it’s like an interesting textile design. It would be awesome on a bag!

Beautiful photo, Rondje! I saw something similar on the canvas tarp over a restaurant last year involving a bird + a cat! Yes, the bird got away.

  Oops, sorry for late response, but thanks nonetheless, Moon! I always try to answer everything, but as disciplined as I am for almost a year posting everyday (ok, sometimes prepared already, but still) the more chaotic I am with these answering

Wow! Great shot! It looks like a design on a piece of clothing as well.

  Yeah, i guess, it’s a bit like a Japanese (like Base said) painting/drawing on canvas! Thanks, Frances

  Thank you, Henrik! I really liked their feet being the darkest of shadows and then all the gradations of shadows dancing over the parasol.

  Thanks, Base, don’t know why but the result does feel a bit Japanese, maybe the canvas of the parasol!
