Indigo Bunting

[Greg Lasley]

Hello All,

This singing male Indigo Bunting was photographed in the Texas Hill Country the other day. The brown edges to some of the wing feathers indicate it is not a fully adult bird, probably in its 2nd year.

Hi Greg !!! I like the calling pose with the slight head turn Pretty bg making the bunting stand out well Very appealing image !! The image is centered but do like it as presented !!!

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice pose and call captured. I'd crop a bit from top and right side for a better compo. It could also go a little darker in my opinion.

[Gayle Clement]

I love the beautiful color and the singing pose, Greg.

[Geurt Bloem]

A very handsome critter indeed and image works well for me.

[Doug Brown]

Vey nice Greg, but I'd also crop some off the top.

[Grady Weed]

A top crop would make this one much better, imho. Thanks for sharing this one.

[Andrew McCullough]

Beautiful bird and bg. A little off the top perhaps.

[Greg Lasley]

Thank you all very much for your comments. I agree...a little off the top would help out. I appreciate everyone's thoughts on the image.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great pose, details, perch and BG. Maybe just a bit off the top.

[Freddy Franzella]
