Weekly Theme : Bird in Cherry Tree

[Joel Eade]

A picture of a Titmouse actually in a crab apple tree but it's all I have close by!

Joel, I love the colors and the texture. Maybe a tiny bit tight on the bottom. I like your letters but I must admit I have no idea what they say. I'm wondering if a black border would make this more Asian feeling. Nice work.:)

[Dan Brown]

Welcome to the party Joel! I agree with Denise re adding to the bottom. A black border would be nice too. I also would probably reduce the size of the calligraphy font and maybe move it to the right a little (although I really like the overall balance here!). No chop? I might also reduce the texture on the bird a bit.

Joel, a beautiful composition with nice colors. I agree with Dan about reducing the texture on the bird.

[Julie Kenward]

I'm also with the others - too tight at the bottom and the bird needs to come through just a bit more. I love the composition and layout though...very nice balance...very zenful and yet cheery.

[Joel Eade]

Thanks for the suggestions...is this more like it?

[denise ippolito]

Lovely! The colors are most pleasing, as is the composition. The second post is just right.

Beautiful composition. I like the color and the effect. Excellent repost.

[Andrew McLachlan]

Hi Joel, love the repost!

[Patti Edens]

Sweet image! I loved the original, but the repost is even better. The colors are wonderful and I love the balance of the bird and the berries.
