Great photo Chad! Although you might receive a comment from the "Head Police" or the "Sharpness deputies. Look forward to your next submission.

Great shot Chad. I really like the multiple colored BGD although I know some here would disagree. Cool perch. Looks like a young one too. I know what you mean as far as numbers down, the lake I live on has seen far fewer greenies year to year as time goes by. :e3

Chad:
Excellent exposure, I like the multi colored BG because of the various colors in the bird, nicely scaled perch, angle in frame looks good to me.

The sharpness is right on the edge of being oversharpened for me, but he really stands out well from the background.


Cheers
