Envious as this one is very sharp and I have nothing on this species with digital :( This is one of those tough crops where almost all are awkward ...

with love, artie

A nice portrait of this meadowlark. I do like that background and the catchlight.

Pretty good Joe really fantastic couldn't get any sharper. Maybe little large in the frame for some. Background goes well with the colors on the bird. Love the beak and open sure adds a touch. TFS
