Thanks Marsdad. What is probably not immediately apparent is that sometimes I find the most interesting subjects down in a corner somewhere, and I will crop out 80% of the photo just to get to the good stuff. Creative cropping goes a long way.:thumbup: Bob, you have the soul and eye of a true artist, You have a unique ability to bring out extra beauty in something the is already beautiful in it's own right. Well done :D

These are beautiful, Bob! I can imagine these hanging on a wall. Just fantastic.
What tool do you use to make these? I might like to attempt one....maybe 😉
Oops didn't read far enough. I see my question was already asked and answered

Trust me, I am aware of the changing neighborhoods. You just have to find beauty wherever you are. I took this from my bedroom window facing a blighted eye sore of a burned house next door. I call it "Beauty in the Blight."

Good capture. Usually Robins go to great pains to hide the nest.
