I like this very much. Clean, complimentary background, beautiful perch, and a calling pose. Not much else you could ask for with this beautiful bird. Very nice capture.

Great light to bring out the blues, Sharon. The greens on the perch and background are very complimentary to the bunting's plumage.

Very artistic, a wall-hanger indeed. Sharp throughout & pleasing contrast between subject & surroundings.
