Good comp. I like the grass clump perch. Excellent control of the black and yellow plumage. A solid image.

Interesting color contrast and wonderful detail on the larger image. I like head turn with eye contact, well done.

Everything about this is wonderful! The setting, the light, the bird, the perch, the environment, the pose. Just a fantastic shot. Congrats! (Also kudos on getting the bright yellow breast just right - no blown yellow patches there. Not easy when shooting digital, I find.)

Very nice Jefferson. Like the perch. It is always nice when something great turns up when you least expect it.
