Hello everyone. Here is a shot of another pipit. This birds are just fun to photograph that I cant pass not shooting a couple of frames. I really liked the background and pose of this little guy.
C&C welcomed.

So glad you posted a picture of a Pipit up close. I saw so many of these on my last two trips to CO but was unable to capture one. Love the BG and the head turn! I think if it were mine, I might consider cropping from the bottom and the right. I find the rock on the bottom a bit distracting and taking a tad from the right as well would take the Pipit out of the center. Very pleasing image of this bird but I think with a little tweaking you could take it to the next level.

That makes three of us for the attractive image -- and the cropping suggestions.

Nice shot Robert! Love the pose, BG, perch. I agree about the OOF rock in front : might crop or clone it.

Thank you all very much for all the comments and suggestions. Much appreciated.
Ok I went ahead and cropped some from the bottom and right. I also added a tad more contrast and sharpend. How does this one work?

The re post looks very nice too. A tighter frame works good.

Fantastic repost, Robert. Love the comp, the look back pose, the sharp details, the gorgeous light, the multi-toned bg and the unique perch. Nicely done.
