| Daryl, looks fine to me just the way it is, anything behind the bird will take away from it. I do see your problem though, looks kind of blank back there. Maybe a small tree or bush in the upper right hand corner to give it some depth. I am not an artist as you can tell.

| Birds Daryl How about some birds in flight, such as coming in to land? My two cents. Dave |

| bird portion looks pretty good. I'm guessing all the black that looks like spray paint will be removed. I think just the bird and several dozen strakes of grass is all you need. If you desire more, a few clouds with the sun attempting to break through followed up with a few rays from the sun may be nice, but that would square the picture up more because you'd need more height. I'd stick with bird in grass.

| I'm with Jeff. Stick with the bird and the grass. Thats what is in the original pic and I am afraid that adding anything wood look to artificial. Tom

| Daryl, Got another Idea. Use a backer with a heavy horizontal grain pattern at the top. Just an Idea. Tom

|  Sometimes less is more Daryl. In my opinion, more background would just clutter the composition up. I think you have a great pattern in the works there. I'd just refine what you have and go with that. Looks great!!!
