"Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be all right." - Bob Marley Struggled with the idea of centering the bridge for a symmetrically sound image or leaving these beautiful birds in the shot. End result...I couldn't get this song out of my head while working on this photo. End result...I can't recall a time in my life that was perfectly balanced and centered. End result...worry about things that you can control because every little thing will be all right. End result...I kept these birds for what they stand for visually and symbolically. Thank you birds, for the reminder. Take care everyone! Superior, Wisconsin USA three little birds | Matthew Blum
