At first look I felt the leaf in front of the bird was distracting, but on second look I like the way the green leaf IMHO supports the blue of the bunting, makes it more vibrant. Have only seen a few indigo buntings so far this year. Thanks for sharing.

Sharon,
I agree with Charlie. The setting really makes this image pop. Perfect head turn, nice pose, sharp with feather detail. Very nice! :toast:

Wonderful, Sharon. I like the layers and the contrasting colors. And a stunningly beautiful bird.

The bird looks fantastic Sharon, I love the right side of the frame, I'm not as fond as the left as the branch is oof but with the amount of light you had it would have been difficult to stop down more. Great colors. :toast:
