Allsorts challenge 746 -  Masculine . or A/G

 How do you make a drab image and bird come to life. It's not easy , I stamped this image 4 times and tried adding a little colour to the bird  greys and blues  , I tried greys and browns - I also tried adding some gold pen to foliage to make bullrush shapes which I managed to smudge .  I think this one came out ok with lots of inking around the edges.
