Soothing Family

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks:

Notice Gamble's Quail mouth is slightly open, this a soothing murmer to Mom and 2 chicks that the coast is clear and to fill up on all the food you can get. Such a majestic looking bird, and will take on a Roadrunner if he as much as looks sideways at his family. Good old out west type where men are men, and women are glad of it . . . nuff said, eh! . . . Uncle Gus :D

Good close up image Uncle Gus...:)
I like the head angle and the colors on your subject. The eye could use a slight touch of selective sharpening, and you need to run noise reduction on the background...good show...:cool:
