Sweet perch and great background.  Nice singing/calling pose.

Very pleasing image.  The calling pose is an added bonus to the very nice perch and pleasing background.  Nicely captured.

Real nice calling pose and a really nice perch. The background suits the image quite well. Good job.

Nice work all around on this one Jerry. I really like how the mullein is curved, it really adds to the comp. Nice work!

Nice calling pose with a clean complimentary background and a killer mullein perch.  Consider opening up the blacks a little more?

There is nothing not to like about this image Jerry. And the calling pose adds a lot. Flawless bg too.
