Thank you. She was building her nest inside our barbecue grill - thought we wouldn't notice. Wrong :) I did have to even out the background, but it was already very dark and pretty solid, so it wasn't hard and, as you say, it's a natural. I have another that I might even like better that I have yet to upload.
