Blue Winged Teal - Color Chall. 3/30/13

Lovely photo and background. I love your cluster and colors.

Oh Jo - I love your bird layouts and this gorgeous one doesn't disappoint. Wow.... Your photo is super and I love the reflection - how lucky you are to have your own photographer that takes such great pics! I think you did a lovely job with the colors and used them perfectly. Your background blending and masking is so pretty and really show off your pic even more and I really like your cattail/embellishment cluster and title. You created such a beautiful page. Thanks for adding your interpretations and shades to this week's color challenge!

Gorgeous! Love this photo and the cluster of cattails.

What a gorgeous photo! And a beautiful bird, too. You have showcased him beautifully! Great job!

Love the neutral colors and the papers and your blending and... well its a wonderful page!

I love the golds and browns in this one. Great patterns and blending. I really like the overlay of the foliage on top of that gorgeous photo. The cattails are the perfect accent! Such a rich, warm layout. Simply stunning!

Oh, awesome layout! Love that photo of the bird. I think that the cattails still have a hint of green actually adds to the layout. What a great shade of brown you used & the blended papers look wonderful.

You've combined, in a wonderful way, two of my favorite things in your layout: waterbirds and background blending. Needless to say this gorgeous layout you made is going straight into my favorites! Thanks for sharing.

This is a wonderful layout and uses the challenge colours so well. The photo is brilliant and I love the mask you used on it.

Congratulations! This is lovely!
