no way that these two birds would be caught in this position and in focus

So what...are you going for a pretty picture or one that is journalistically correct?

Brian, thank you. My way with Gimp is that I know a handful of features and over use them. But I did this project partially to get better at it, and the more I use Gimp, the more features I learn - there are plenty more to discover! Not familiar with any painting techniques- ??
