barb said...: Oh, how lovely! This actually reminds me of some Japanese art my Dad bought when he was in Japan in th 1950's. So simple, yet so beautiful!; June 11, 2009 2:38 AM
Jo said...: Gemma, what a beautiful shot. Your kookaburra is very similar to our kingfisher. I love the sun/moon dappled spots on it's chest. Absolutely brilliant. Well done.; June 11, 2009 4:38 AM
Michelle Johnson said...: Your picture is perfect. Art at its highest form. The sepia tone works well here and the Kookaburra looks content just taking in the sun/ moon together.; June 11, 2009 5:46 AM

Ralph said...: The bird seems diminutive but appears to be a giant on the spindly and delicate branches. The sepia sky is soft and really only highlights the life story here of the living bird and sun...; June 11, 2009 8:52 AM

Bryan said...: Very awesome shot. The tiny branches are perfectly situated around the bird who just looks like it might swoop down and take a bite out of the moon.; June 11, 2009 12:26 PM
