Captured this image yesterday in the late afternoon. Had some partial cloud cover as I walked through a local grassland preserve. C&C welcome.

A sharp, colorful view of this beauty with a cool perch and wonderful touch of environment. TFS
Love the pastel tones of this image.
I would clone out the long OOF grass on the left as well as the vertical one on the right.
I find both stems pull my eye away from the bird and the pretty perch he is on.
Nice frame!
Wow Geoffrey, one of your best images! I love the colors, the sharpness on the bird is excellent! I also agree w Gail's recommendations. Love it!
Ooh, this is beautiful! The alert posture is nice. I love the prairie feel with the excellent perch. I agree with Gail's grass removal suggestions, and also the faint one crossing behind the subject. Very appealing frame!!
Geoffrey, agreed one of your best. Subject looks really nice and really enjoy this composition.
Other comments mentioned were spot on. Nice work!
Thanks everyone.
