Here you can see how a master craftsman works. On the
left is a rough sketch and on the right is the finished masterpiece.
What a difference! Note how I failed to observe any of the clinching
features, such as the two-tone supercillium, upper-tail pattern and
contrast in the remiges. Nontheless, I did manage to notice that it had
a 'vertical stance' as opposed to lying on the floor in a horizontal
stance - a real conclusive ID feature. I'm not too sure this would have
been accepted by many rarities committees, but I promise you it was one;
I mean look, it says it's an Isabelline on the sketch so it must be. |
