    Female blue bird on pine. Bird attracted with a one call and meal worms. They are now on eggs and I won't be going back until there are hatchlings. (Fingers crossed that the nest is successful)

    Lovely! The bluebird pops yet melds with the smooth distraction-free complimentary background. I love the clean details and appreciate the natural color palette. Subjectively and esthetically, the image is graceful and relates the reality and existence of a delicate and beautiful little life. I would display this image in my home.

    Hi Grace, love the light in this, and the colours on the Blue Bird look even better. I like the high placement, good angled pose, and good DOF throughout the image. Killer BG too.
