    Excellent image. Spectacular singing pose with half claws in the air. Beautiful BG and composition.
    Love the frame.

    Nice calling pose and vibrant colors. Nice seeing the toes so clearly. This would have been even lovelier in earlier light.

    Nice capture, Joe. Great singing pose and lovely background. For some reason the Meadowlarks in our area just hide in the grass and don't sing from fenceposts.

    These guys have such a beautiful song! I like almost everything here...just wish for warmer light and a better weathered perch (but not knowing the area maybe this is the best you could have hoped for). Sweet BG and well balanced composition.

    Most been said . Great impact with this one Joseph.. I think the fence line type post gives an insight into the birds normal habitat. My quirk- a little bit of some indication of habitat in the BG would be good( just me )
    Good stuff whatever.
    Cheers
