This is a digital piece created with Wacom tablet & Photoshop. I actually created this piece first and then played around and worked on another finch with face showing. I like unusual crops and with birds it is only fitting as they are forever flitting out of the viewfinder in real life. This is a Melba Finch. I chose this bird to play with because I thought he was just too cute and delicate. I chose to have an unusual crop because all birds and especially Finches seem to flit around so quickly they are never in your view finder long, whether that view finder is a camera, or pair of binoculars. The number to the left is just a decorative element that reminds me of old bird books with their numbered plates.
