Hi Cheryl,

I just had a chance to look at your gallery. You have some magnificent work in there. I am really impressed that you did all of this hand painting.

There are some shots that really stood out for me, not just because of the composition, but because you can tell that it took a lot of work to hand tint the shots. The shots I like the most are normally the ones where you have painted the bird and some of the foreground scenery. I also like the way you leave the background clear, really forcing your eyes to the bird and immediate surroundings. This can be seen on the photos of the eastern spinebill, new holland honeyeater and pardalote.

Again, thanks for sharing.

Cheers!
James
