The abundant rain this Spring has contributed to an abundance of wildflowers. I captured this Western Kingbird hunting insects amid all the Texas flowers. Processed using Lightzone 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

6 commentsExcellent, Jerry. What would normally be a busy bg works absolutely perfectly here.
Very nice portrait of this beautiful bird Jerry. He certainly looks contented in his "supermarket". The pastels of the flowers in the background add a lot of interest to the whole scene.
Neat look at this Western Kingbird hanging out in a fine collection of greens with scattered flowers (.....sounds like a weather report,
). I really like how the bird shows in the midst of all the foliage.
Great habitat shot. Lovely colors.
Hi Jerry
The background flowers are in perfect harmony with the kingbird.. excellent pose and color of the bird, for a beautiful spring presentation.

I agree with Dennis 100%, the busy scene is beautifully so
Perhaps a bit more contrast?
Cool
