First Post - E. Meadowlark at First Light

[Jose Suro]

Hi All,

Finally found the site! I had heard from Fabs that it would be up on the 1st of the year but have been busy with other things. Took this about two weeks ago in Sarasota county right at sunrise.

Thanks for looking,

Best,

Jose

Welcome, Jose
A wonderful image of him belting out a tune. I like the rich colors and how the BG compliments those colors. Wonderful sharpness and detail. I think I might try to blur or even clone out the bright area directly above his head as it's a bit of a distraction. Well done.

Love the rich color and the feather detail you caught here, Jose, and the complementing background is great!

Welcome Jose!

Nice light and singing pose you've captured here. I didn't notice the bright spot until I read Lanas comment.
