Bornega, AFRICA—A team of Italian archaeologists made a stunning discovery Monday, unearthing an intact specimen of "oscines notus”—a species thought only to be a myth by many ornithologists. Native lore credits the long necked bird with the origin of music. See artist’s rendering above.

I love the bird to no end, not so much the enclosed background, but this is a fiver nonetheless.

Whoa! Thanks every one, I dooooo appreciate it.

@ againstbound, wish you were in critiques, maybe you could have helped me make the background better. I hope you take a look at my last post in the blog linked below, reminiscing about our goings on in critiques when I first came to threadless. It was first posted Feb '08 (with a comment by you up front), I didn't revive it, others did, but I'm glad to remember those days. Cheers!
