Found several of these guys singing for mates late this afternoon in a nearby field.

Nice clean perch and BG. The shooting angle isn't ideal here and I'm wondering if focus maybe landed on the shoulder instead of the face as it looks slightly sharper there. Singing pose and catchlight are both nice. TFS

Lovely singing pose and I am OK with the POV. The slight head turn our way helps.
Nice and sharp.
I could see a version with the last 2 segments of the OOF branch cloned out.
This guy is a beautiful looking male in great breeding colors.
Nicely done,
Gail
