Thanks for the advice. I am putting a white border around the image, helps for printing. I'm trying to get Kinkos to print it the same size every time so I don't have to adjust my matt cuts every time. I agree with the washed out look, but I wanted the bird and willow to stand out. I also fear the tree it growing out of the poor bird's head a bit, but I'm too lazy to go take more photos... I probably need to.

Never Give Up!
