Started out as a Canon S3IS shot of a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo landing on a fencepost with the late afternoon sun shining thru it's wings. A lot of mucking around to cut away everything but the bird. More mucking around to get just the right "zoom blur" and halo. I started work on this twelve months ago, lost heart in it, came back and am now exceedingly happy with the result. It also seemed like a natural image for the current Negative Space contest.

Enjoy.
