The salt has given such a good snowy effect. Beautiful little, fluffy Robin. Lovely work!

Just great. The texture, the composition, but especially the bird. He IS a robin...you've got it. Spot on.

This technique is so effective and really compliments the festive scene Linda. Your Robin looks great sat amongst the frosty foliage.....it’s a cracker!
