Punainen

I chose this subject, because I thought I should try to break free from all too detailed style. The only detail was supposed to be the bird cage. Not sure if I managed to complete the task though, but I quite like the fantasy or sci-fi quality I managed to create. sort of accidentally, while trying not to define the shape of chadri too closely. It's not huge or obvious thing, but I don't mind. I feel this piece is quite over worked, but the tones are quite pretty. I try to snap a better photo, when there is actually day light available.
