Elephant Head Arizona
Another really nice photo Freddy! Interesting and beautiful perch. What is it? And where is Elephant Head?
Beautiful colour and very interesting perch (Euphorbia?). On nit is I see a strange thin blue line to the left of the head of the bird.
I have no idea John. I think it could have come from the healing tool. I never saw it.

I spent three days there and shot 8000 images a great deal of them are redundant but I did get a ton of keepers.
Very nice image Freddy. Clean, simple design, with a very interesting perch. I like the background and the head angle is right on. Besides the little blue line, there's some green stuff down by his tail. Very minor stuff. ;)
I really like this one. The raised head feathers and perch (ocotillo, cool plant) are awesome.
Nice work, Fred. The thorny perch adds tension!
Wow, the perch shares co-headlining honours here for sure!! Clean the two spots mentioned already and you have a definite winner :-)
I like the perch Freddy you should have brought some home with you :)
Great lighting and nice and sharp picture. I love the diagonal feel of the unusual perch which give a strong visual impact to the image.
The perch is an Ocotillo branch. Ocotillo, Fouquieria splendens is a native plant in the Sonoran Desert and is not a member of the Cactus family.
Beautiful detail, perch and background Freddy.
Jim
