Nice photo with an interesting perch. Good and sharp too. I think the bird could be brightened a bit, and I would probably tone down the yellowish green spots in the BG.

Hi Antonio,
I think that is a very nice shot of a young male Lazuli Bunting, probably a bird hatched in 2007. The sharpness is good and I think the lighting is nice but soft (even with better beamer)...I'll bet it was overcast. Good crop in my view. That is also nice record for central Texas...I can count on one hand the Lazuli Buntings I've seen in this part of the state in 30 years. Nice image.

Wonderful find. Toning down the bit of the green in the background is the only change I'd make.

[Andrew McCullough]

Beautiful bird. Great find.

[Jim Neely]

Well done, Antonio. The perch, pose and lighting are nice. I agree about brightening it just a little.

This is a lovely image. And, it is the bird that got me into this!
