    New was there's a migrant snow bunting at the local beach, sure enough I found him/her (not sure if sub adult or female) catching flies on the breakwater wall.
    The wall had patches of lichens on it, unfortunately they were not in this fame - I transplanted them from a different image. The uppermost surface and top edge of the vertical of the wall is genuine, the blend is lower down.
    All C&C welcome.

    Excellent classic shot and on such a beautiful rock. My only nit is a small, vertical line behind the tail from combining frames.

    Love the light, your exposure and the head turn, Jon.
    Nice job with the transplantation. Nice catch by Matthew.

    Lovely shot of this bunting. Good idea and execution with the lichen.

    You certainly did a great job with your processing. My only comment has to do with the flies...I know that they are natural, but I just don't find them asthetially pleasing.

    Nice shot. I like the pose, colors and the details. I might remove the flies. Well done.
