Great juxtaposition of the bird with the plane. The basic design for flight is the same - but of course, nature did it first. Very thoughtful idea for this one.

Nice catch, Shirley. If it is mine I would clone of that lowest left hand branch, or part of it to give some place for plane to land. :-) Only suggestion and this is Me. Maybe other think differently.
Very good thinking. Most of the people "inventions" are simple copies or modifications of the natural originals.

Looks good to me! Great juxtaposition of natures design and man’s clumsy copy.

Don't feel stupid! You're far from that! I've been gone (doc's appointment yuck) and kept thinking this might not be what Colin had in mind either! HA! But it is what came to my mind.

OK, Shirley, you have gone just a little too far...
I don't know if it is humors or a contradiction or a statement of man vs beast...

hmmm I just read your title and decided to leave my above comments anyway. Now I know :)
it is a well done an presented and interesting study.
