Little Juvenile Bluebird on a Tree (Stamp Filter)

I've got two stamp filtered images today: The first is the black and white version; the second has the colored image layered back in. What I like about the colored image is that the bird is blue, making it discernible from the tree (and the rest of the image). However, I think I like the black and white image better, especially the part with the shading in the leaves in the first two-thirds of the image. 

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures!
