The sun came out 2 days ago and a pair of Western Blubirds showed themselves. Then it snowed. It was nice to see them for a while anyway.

Very nice. I like the bg and the perch. If this is not full frame, you may want to try a different comp moving the bird more off center. Sharon

Nice shot Clayton, I like the bg. It looks like pretty bright light but you handled it well.

Very nice. The soft BG underline the excellent sharpness of the bird under a perfect light!

Fabulous detail and texture the background tones compliment bird very nicely.If not full frame I would consider looking at it with a little more on the bottom as his tail finishes close to the bottom of the frame.

Clayton,

I like the head turn this bluebird gave you and the lovely colors in the background. If you have more room at the bottom of the frame adding some back there might give you a stronger composition as it feel tight on the tail there even though we can not see it.

It is so nice to see the sun for a change, isn't it?

Thanks again everyone for your coments. I got back as much room as I could at the bottom and added a little on her left. Let's see how this works.
