    A Beautiful scene Alan, I really like the perch and the moss on it. Always nice to see a Meadowlark, and you sure captured a good pose.

    Love the light, detail, habitat, perch, colour and pose of the bird. All in a cracking image to grace a book or a wall.

    The singing pose is great, but the perch and the flowers around that makes this image really outstanding, Alan.

    Great pose and setting. I love the colours! If mine I'd be tempted to lightly blend the oof grass in front of the bill (halfway to right edge)

    Hi Alan a very lovely calling pose of the Lark in a stunning colorful setting .
    From my POV the lark and the perch do look a bit too strong in sharp detail and a bit lightened up , maybe i am completely wrong ? If so forget my observation . It does look a bit like you made use of SH /HL in PS .

    TFS Andreas
