Bluebird is back

[Mike Delgado]

This male Bluebird and his female friend nested in my backyard last year and had 3 little ones. This year looks like there back. I just got to get rid of those squirels........

Beautiful image, the soft background enhances the colours of the bird
wonderful coloured bird and very nicely composed

Very nice Mike, I'm envious you have something this beautiful nesting your backyard. I like his nicely detailed perch and feet showing, I find the head turn appealing as well. Smooth and subtle toned backdrop works very nicely. My only thought would be the light on top of the head is a tad strong making it look a little hazy, I wonder if overall this image could do with a slight tweak in contrast.

Beautiful job on the exposure. The colors are perfect. Pose, perch, and BG are nice!

Lovely bird, perch and BG, Mike. I think I would crop in a little tigher and add a tad of sharpening.

I can do that. Thank You for your comments.
