I’ve been enjoying your photography for some time now and many of your photos would be great inspiration for paintings – this one is a great example. Would you give permission for the use of any photographs as a basis for painting? If I posted or sold the work I would credit your website or name of course.
In any case, love your work – your love of the natural world shines through what you do!

The background green and white complement the bird nicely. Rule-of-thirds, sharp image, and action combine for an outstanding shot.
