The Perch Sure is Ugly

[Sid Overbey]

As I was out walking around this guy landed about 6 feet from me and decided to start singing. So, what does he land on but an ugly piece of PVC holding up a nest box.:( This is almost full frame.

Hi Sid You got just about everything here except is a little soft !!!

Love that bg, excellent pose and good exposure !!! The slight head turn with open beak puts it over the top !!! With birds around might try some perches .... with food !!!

Excellent capture Sid. Do agree with Al on all points.
Congrats,

Love the BG - agree with all the other point - nice capture.

here it is with a little sharpening (eye as well) could do with some NR now

Hi Sid - sweet bird and I love the pose. Like Lance's repost.
