Say's Phoebe

I came across this very cooperative Say's Phoebe while in Eastern Washington. It's nice to find a cooperative one every now and then, especially after being skunked for a couple of month's straight!

Cloned out a couple of sticks. Normal drill in PS. Comments and critiques welcome. Thanks.

Beautiful, Mike. Excellent detail and it really shows the subtle coloration of the plumage.

nice job filling the frame, Mike, you've got great details. I might tinker with warming it a bit, but I could be off the mark here.

Nice job, great look at the plumage. Only thing I might have done is a slight touch of fill-flash to get a bit more detail in the undertail covert area.
