Captured this image yesterday in the late afternoon. Had some partial cloud cover as I walked through a local grassland preserve. C&C welcome.

A sharp, colorful view of this beauty with a cool perch and wonderful touch of environment. TFS

Love the pastel tones of this image.
I would clone out the long OOF grass on the left as well as the vertical one on the right.
I find both stems pull my eye away from the bird and the pretty perch he is on.
Nice frame!

Wow Geoffrey, one of your best images! I love the colors, the sharpness on the bird is excellent! I also agree w Gail's recommendations. Love it!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Ooh, this is beautiful! The alert posture is nice. I love the prairie feel with the excellent perch. I agree with Gail's grass removal suggestions, and also the faint one crossing behind the subject. Very appealing frame!!

[Brian Sump]

Geoffrey, agreed one of your best. Subject looks really nice and really enjoy this composition.

Other comments mentioned were spot on. Nice work!
