Thanks for looking and commenting!

Terrific image, Charles. Any reservations I had about the first one are more than a 100% addressed in this one.
Perfectly composed, brilliant light and just love the balanced perch. Details are excellent too.
Nice work. You could tone down the bill as it is a bit hot, but I don't mind it as presented at all.

I like the alert pose, perch, DOF and sharpness. Well done Charles!

Nicely done, really like the perch and comp. Good details too. Maybe just a bit of NR on the bg.

TFS,
Rachel

nice image,good BG,like the perch and pose,nice lighting.thanks.

MY... what long toes bobolinks have! Very nice shot.
I like the perch.
I would tone down the bill and the white OOF plant on the right,
Gail

Yes, I like this one better too...although just as your previous one I would tone down the brighter area touching the perch in lower right corner.

Thanks everyone for the great nits and critique. This place is truly helpful in driving home the fine details of bird photography.
