    Hello everyone. Here is another shot I was able to capture of this friendly bird. I saw him coming and going from this perch. I pulled up to it in my car and just waited for it to come back.
    C&C welcomed and encouraged.

    Sweet photo, Robert.
    I think a bit off the bottom would look nice.
    The light and mood is really nice.

    Real nice color and the BG looks great against the bird. Exposed well and full of detail. Ya, maybe a bit off the bottom but nice either way. Great work..

    Great light, looks like early morning or sunset. Good detail. Maybe a crop just above wre the twigs branch.

    Good job spotting the opportunity and being proactive about it. It paid dividends for you! Great light and I love the comp as is. I would only tone down the brighter part of the perch, and perhaps the sheen on the tail. Excellent work.

    Hi Robert, I like these type of images with the subject perched high in the frame. Great pose and HA, and I do like the light, detail and colours. Killer two tone BG too. Hope you managed an approach shot.

    A superb bkgd with soft, muted colors that mimic the phoebe but reversed top and bottom. Could not be better! I would prefer not to have the branching of stalk at the bottom as it distracts some, although it is natural. On my monitor it seems to need just a bit more sharpening on the head.

    Robert, loved the light and the BG. IQ is awesome.

    I might go with some more crop if the IQ is going to be retained. Eyes are getting drawn towards the bottom part of the perch.
