I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. Another image that I captured last April. I wish the ends of the perch were sharp but as close as I was to this bird I do not think any reasonable aperture would have provided the depth of field needed. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
