March 7 work in progress

This is pretty much done, other than maybe tweaking a few things (I have to just let it sit for a while, and look at it, and think about it). The lighting was tough, because although there are lights behind the bird I've tried to convey that he is more strongly lit from this side.

I will try to take a GOOD photo tomorrow in daylight, since I can't do that too well in here in the dark. I doubt I'll be able to scan it myself. I'd have to scan it in four parts and I'm hesitant to subject it to that. I will be getting it professionally photographed next week, so I may have to wait til I get the transparency back... but I'll try tomorrow, should be able to at least get a good-enough-for-website pic!
