This is a ghost story. A colorful bird sits upon a spattered and worn tombstone engraved with the name "Ella M." The incongruities here contrast beauty with decay, large with small, and colorful with drab. To some, the bird may represent Ella's ghost. To others, her spirit. Ultimately, some may even see this image as a study of rebirth. I used a very long lens (750mm) to read out across a long distance and make the small bird clearly visible. I could come no closer to this bird - it would have fled, spoiling my story!
