I took this image of a corn bunting training the surfing skills last week on Lesbos. :)
Hope it makes you smile :)

That is really funny. The raised leg is what really does it for me.
Nice detail i the feathers, good exposure, complimentary BG. Perch is a bit big, but it is what it is!
The only thing I might add would be to try and bring up the underwing area and leg to play up the great pose.
Thanks for sharing. It did make me smile. :)

I liked your image so much, I thought I would do a quick tweak along the lines of what I mentioned earlier.
Tried not to go overboard, but to play up the foot/leg up.

I like the tail feather splitting the toes!! Good repost too by Randy. I realize you probably did not want to include too much perch, but I find the comp rather tight (I don't find it ideal when small species are so big in the frame). Yes, it made me smile :-)

Lovely pose, and very well timed to capture the raised foot and outspread wing and tail. Good feather detail, and I would maybe add a bit to the LHS.

Love the pose and the feather detail. Nice BG but not mad about the perch.
