Take a Word - Blackbird

This is somewhat in the style of Heather Murray, who couples backgrounds with vintage photographs.  Credit for the old house (somewhat altered) to Swainboat, for the girl to Miles Beyond the Moon, and for the blackbird to Ozstuff.    I hope you've enjoyed looking!

    Oh, yes, I did enjoy looking. What a colourful blackbird, he is very fine, so good against the greys.

    I love it, sorry but I had the same idea aboput using Heather. Luckely it's always different even when you have the same theme.

    The girl has a slightly sinister look to her Bev, so she goes along well with with the bird!
