Another Meadowlark I captured while driving along Joe Overstreet Road. This one is for John Robinson, I believe he would like it. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Very nice capture, Joseph. Like the habitat including the barbed wire perch. Good handling of the harsh light and well done post production.

I like a lot about this image- good IQ and nicely shown environment.
Nice colors throughout.
I do wish the wire perch was a natural perch though.Light was a bit harsh but not a deal breaker for me.
