You have some neat colours in this image! I really like his perch, the yellow adds a nice bit of colour. Nice pose from this little guy, too! It looks like there is some great detail. Very nice comp. Great image!

I like the pose as if the bird is just ready to lift off. Nice colors in the perch to counterbalance the colors of the bird. The background is perfectly blurred. You must have had a great trip.

I don't think I have ever seen a Cowbird look so good.

Absolutely wonderful May, that setup really works to your advantage. Looking at this marvelous result encourages me to sort something out in my garden, thanks for the reminder ;^)

Very sweet May, love the perch, comp and bg. This makes me think I should have spent more time shooting at our setups and less time on the boats.
