    Very nice image.
    Love all the colors and the head turn and body position.
    IQ excellent as always. I like your comp but wouldn't mind a sliver more room at the top.
    If mine, I would clone out the little leaves sticking up on left bottom edge.

    Wonderful image Allen, love the perch and the Bunting pops off the green BG. I would be tempted to crop just a touch off the bottom.

    Wonderful subject, all around great shot. Nice BG but the perch really sets it off for such a colorful subject. The painted bunting is one I'd like to find one day. Can I ask, which TX coast location did this one come from?

    I sure hope this is one of your set-ups. If not, I'm beyond jealous. I got to see my first Painted Buntings during the big fall out at South Padre Island last month, but none would perch anywhere but the ground, behind/in bushes/grass/vegetation/barbed wire etc. Nothing as nice as a flower perch! Lovely photo.

    beautiful shot, loved the composition, the flowers and the colors.
    cropping out the out of focus flowers from below might improve it further :)
