It's great bird Joe and you did very well to capture it. Nice pose, color, bg and detail. Well done!

Really like the calling pose, certainly makes the Larks over in the UK look a bit dull, very nice image.

Great pose and "attitude"! Lovely BG! Most unique capture! Well done!

I am glad this came together for you. Always a nice feeling when it happens!
I really like the BG.
The "eyelashes " are a nice feature of the image. Your vantage point also gives the viewer a good look at the feet.
I would take a bit off the RHS for comp.

Very cute. I never noticed the eye lashes before. I would sharpen the head a bit more.

Nice image, Joseph. I like the colors and the background is really nice.
